Take a look at the cover. Who would believe that these nice looking boys could crank out two great punk rock tracks. Yes I’m prejudice. And so are you just admit it. This is their debute 7inch and here’s some info:”The Reruns were a band from Hamtramck and they never let anybody forget that. Their overriding characteristic was a sense of humor that managed to permeate everything they ever did. An short interview in White Noise from 1979 managed to cover the all of the following topics: the closing of the Dodge Main plant in Hamtramck, a stabbing at a recent show, movie host Bill Kennedy and the goofy last names that the Reruns use to protect their real identity.“. Anyone heard their second record?

The a-side of the second single, ‘She Hates Me Now,’ is on the first Teenline on hyped2death. it’s less effective than the first single.

I actually like the second 45 better, although I know I’m in the minority here.

Love the reruns…I only know about them because I am good friends with George Ricardo himself. He looks back on his time with them as just a part of his past…I dont think he realizes how much a part of the punk/Detroit music movement they were.
“So so alone” would stand up as a hit today. I miss the real deal which was The Reruns. But they’re sound lives on in so many others. These guys were true originators that never got the kudos for what they did.
I’ll forever be a fan.
