Just a year after Crash’s suicide came this little legacy by the Germs, one of the best American Hardcore/Punk bands, via Slash Records and this delicate mini-album features all three songs from the Lexicon Devil EP, a Chuck Berry cover, an studio outtake plus two impressive live tracks which were recorded on December 3, 1980 at LA’s Starwood (four days before Darby's passing). Well there's not much to say, a fantastic record that depicts the band as they were: loud, messy and extremely overheated. After just a few minutes of pogo you're gasping for air and sight and you need something to drink right away or the show is over for you, and who wants to drop out after fifteen minutes? And if you need a decent encore, I recommend their only exclamation mark from 1979, but enter at own risk!
great band, great music
