Avengers

Avengers, “Avengers” (Water Music, 2012; originally released/recorded 1977-79)
Reissued after 20 years’ legal limbo, here’s the legendary “pink album,” worth the wait with an extra disc of great archival shit. The Avengers were one of the greatest first-wave U.S. punk bands – hell, one of the all-time greatest punk bands, period. Blazing performances of songs that instantly tattoo themselves onto your brain, and a tear-down-the-walls-of-Babylon-against-all-odds attitude, the Avengers were one of those rare bands that can raise the stakes of what you expect from music, and life.
