Artists starting with Roach Motel

Roach Motel, “It’s LonelyAt The Top” (Florida’s Dead, 2011; original recordings 1982-84)
Early band from future NYC punk scene godfather George Tubb. These guys were like a missing link between Queers-style garage-punk and hardcore. Ultra-snotty, slamming attack with catchy songs. Florida’s Dying collected these early-‘80s recordings in what looks like could be the first of a series of archival digs by their Florida’s Dead subsidiary, and if there are others, here’s hoping they’re as hot as this.
