Zero Boys - History of (1980-1983)


The second Zero Boys album! For a long time the only way to hear this was via a locally distributed cassette in Indianapolis dating back to 1983. Then came the internet, and finally in 2009 an official CD release. Maybe this isn't as great as Vicious Circle. Maybe. Personally, I find myself listening to this one a lot more, but that might be a side effect of having played Vicious Circle about a billion times in a row when I first discovered it. In any case, they both rule in a kick-your-teeth-in, all out punk rock, hardcore (and maybe a just a dash of metal) kind of way. I suspect that had these guys surfaced in California or New York they'd be notorious. Also included here is the Livin' In The 80s EP, which predates Vicious Circle. That's the last five tracks. Hear it and love it, or suffer the consequences.
