EDDIE & THE SUBTITLES - Skeletons In The Closet 1981

At the moment I'm a bit busy with other things, so I hardly find time for wdthtc, but I'm trying and today I come to an interesting record that not only offer Punkrock, the grande debut by Eddie & The Subtitles from Orange County which came via their own label No Label Records and is nowadays a rare classic. The band consisted of Eddie (vocals), Max (guitars), Chaz (bass), Brent (drums) and this is a fantastic concoction of early OC sound with bloody New Wave interludes. They release their first vinyl Fuck You Eddie! in 1980 with two great songs which was already a strong exclamation mark and brought live shows with the Circle Jerks, Black Flag and many other heroes of the period. So they created a small fan base around them and their second and last album Dead Drunks Don't Dance finally followed in 1983.
