The Spastics - Cherry Pop/I wanna be a cop 7"

Label: Rip Off Records; Year: 1996; Format: Vinyl 7"

Greg Lowery's Rip Off Records started as a label promoting his own band, the Rip Offs, and like minded bands playing a similar style of primitive and snotty garage punk'n'roll. In the early to late '90s he was known to release singles by bands such as the Registrators, Rip Offs, and others such as the Spastics whom were from San Francisco and came out of the ashes of the equally great Spoiled Brats. On this one sided little platter you get two great garage punk hits that can't be beaten when it comes to snottiness and a 100% pogo factor. I don't suppose I need to really add anything more as this will appeal to anyone into 77 punk with a good dose of garage punk thrown in there. Greg's label continued to be active until the latter stages of the '2000s but in my opinion lost the magic of its early days once he started to release full lengths and no longer such modern day classics as this one here.
