You finally got me. This was one I had totally forgotten about. I never had their vinyl but listened to it enough at a friend's house back in the day. I know about as much of them as you do... Did Touch and Go put out any BAD vinyl in this timeframe? They seemed to have a great ear for HC and post-HC bands.

Do you have any Offenders? I've got their single and maybe another record in the archive.

Jim... I've been planning an Offenders post for some point in the future. I found their demo tape on Soulseek, the fantastic session that spawned the "War/Peace" cut (I think) and the bonus tracks on the "We Must Rebel" German reissue.

sorry to keep commenting to my own posts. Punk Vault has post with an earlier version of Mediocrity from the Touch&Go 7"

I looked through my "vault" today and found a copy of the Offenders "I Hate myself" -- what I was interested in finding was a cover they did of a Motown song - I think on the album that contained "I hate myself"... sorry to keep on talking about hte Offenders. By the way, I found one of the Angry Red Planet 7"s.

Angry Red Planet. All I know is they slept on my floor when they toured europe, must've been the late 80s, they were pretty old back then compared to the crowd they played to, and where really nice people. And a blast on stage. Thanks for the post, another great band I had almost forgotten.

Drummer Ewolf is also a photographer, and his photo credits were on a many many touch and go promo photos in the late 80's. he later played drums in the dirtbombs for a while.

When I was in high school, on the way back from a shopping trip in Spokane, WA we locked the keys in the trunk of our car. The band Angry Red Planet happened to be at the rest stop we were at and helped us out. The removed our back seat and got our keys. They were very nice. We had a couple of pins that had fallen under the seat that they got to keep as souviners. One pin had the McDonald's logo but said "Marijana" and the other was a Coca Cola pin that said "Cocaine". They gave us their "Too Much Knowledge Can Be Dangerous" EP which is still in its sleve and I believe has never been played and a Angry Red Planet stiker that they autophraped. One of them even wrote on the sticker "Don't lock your keys in the Det. Dog, the trunk neither." I am trying to find out more info on them.
