Title: Germs - 'Media Blitz' (Cleopatra)
Product review: The Germs career was,sadly cut short when vocalist Darby Crash (1959-80)died of a heroin overdose. Crash (birth name: Jan Paul Breahm) has been said by some to have actually out do Sid Vicious as for living the life of a 'real punk'. Either way, The Germs were a good full-throttled all American punk band, ANY way you slice it. Tracks here that had me sit up and take some notice were "Round 'N Round", the in-your-face "Sex Boy", "Manimal", "Shut Down" and "Throw It Away". Should appeal to fans of Dead Kennedys, The Zeros, Social Distortion, Black Flag and Circle Jerks. A worthy pick of old school punk.
