STARK RAVING MAD - Social Sickness 10'' 1989

One more 10Inch from Nuclear Blast Records, 2000 copies yellow vinyl, by Stark Raving Mad from Housten with fifteen short numbers, A-Side with studio recordings from 10/12/85 (but different from "Amerika" versions), B-Side live @ CBGB's 10/12/86. The band was formed 1982 as Pissed Youth! by Spunge Oid (vocals), Barry (guitar), Steve (bass), Jeff (drums). After a few gigs, older, more pissed off, and madder than ever, they reformed with Sam playing guitar and & Bob Byte on bass and renamed ourselves Stark Raving Mad in 1983 and released their first 12Inch via Slob Records. More gigs followed, the 'America' 12Inch in 1985 and sometime in the late 80s the band was history. In 1995, Stark Raving Mad reformed in New York as a threesome; this time with Sam on guitar and vocals, Steve on drums, and Colleen on bass. Our music had evolved, and we wrote some new songs; but before we could get them to vinyl or CD, we lost Steve to a heroin overdose. - Enjoy and remember!
