TYRANTS - Hard To Get 7'' 1981

Bret Starr (guitar), the son of late 60's American football legend Bart Starr, Ed Guerriero (vocals, harmonica & keyboards), aka Eddie Lee Sausage of "Shut Up Little Man" infamy), Dan "Radar" DeMars (bass) and Jim Lukes (drums) were the Tyrants, an early Punk and New Wave band formed in 1979 in the frigid climes of Green Bay, Wisconsin. This little piece of a rare record is their only output, released on Miller Management and issued in five different picture sleeves. The song "Attitude" was their calling card, despite being the official B-side of this record. Both of these songs were later featured on compilations: "Attitude" was compiled onto "Hyped To Death: U.S. and Canadian Punk 45s" and 'Hard To Get' was compiled onto Teenline N°.103 - American Pop-Rock & Powerpop:"T" '76-85. Both tracks are catchy and ideal for a carefree sunny day on the beach.
