Second album by the Dickies from Los Angeles and I don't have to tell much about the band. They always delight me with their extravagant covers of well-known classics, Paranoid for example, and consistently balanced catchy melodies, harmony vocals, and pop song structures, with speedy punk guitar attacks. A little info: Inspired by the first wave of punk coming out of New York & London, the band were formed 1977 in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles by Leonard (vocals), Stan & Chuck (guitars), Billy (bass), Karlos (drums). They started playing around the burgeoning L.A. punk scene within a few weeks of forming, and quickly earned a following with their zany live show, which featured outlandish costumes, puppets, and a midget roadie... They're still active, ten albums have been released to date, including some live records, and they are the longstanding veterans of the LA scene.
