Shut Down The Slave (Slash Records 1979)

  

   There was a time when Punk Rock spawning a pioneer in Los Angeles area back in the early eighties and this time it isn't swearing or angry lyrics about the conspiracy but more to embracing Pop-Culture of New Wave into the correct form of original Punk Rock identity based on daily products of disasterous povertyliving or social changes and more latest issues giving out by the media about what should do and shouldn't by any citizens. The Germs trying to break the boundaries of them all by forming this alliance of four garage Rock influenced musicians - Darby Crash (vocals), Pat Smear (guitar, backing vocals), Lorna Doom (bass, backing vocals) and Don Bolles 9drums, backing vocals) with the surrounding gossips around the lead vocalist abnormal sexual orientation and the beginning debut of their first and only studio recording release - GI; providing the band's Punk Rock career stories likely made a bit similar to the most dramatic Hollywood's ending movies. The simplicity of anti-materialistic, excessive drug addictions and D.I.Y ideas for giving the middle fingers to the outside world has cementing The Germs in eternal Punk catalogs heaven forever. The music bussiness reacts in different ways to openly smart tracks such as What We Do Is Secret, Land Of Treason, Strange Notes, American Leather and Lexicon Devil in which little by little showed us the irrelevant topics of both social and politics mended together into an anomaly of absurdity and consequences of symbols and giant corporates along with the increasing wealth of money savings and consumtive spendings in America.

You decide and listen to them.
