Germicide

Germs, “Germicide” (ROIR, 1981 [?]; original recording 1977)
“OH WOW, BIG PUSSY!!” That and other witticisms are to be found on the between-song banter on this, the first recording of the Germs, live and completely incompetent. This is the most primal punk rock ever, sludge-chunks of sound skanking across the floor with an every-instrument-doing-something-unrelated-to-the-others panache rivaled only by the Shaggs. Pictures the Stooges trying to navigate the LaBrea tar-pits wearing shat-in-pants and you’re starting to get the picture.
