Pagans – Dead End America 7″
July 29th, 2006 by The Flakes // Drummer
This was the firts american punk rock 7inch I bought. Just a couple of weeks before I got hold of Dead Kennedys-California Uber Alles in 1980. Hm, maybe it wasn’t the first. Now when I think about it might’ve been The Deadbeats-Kill The Hippes in 1979. Nevermind! This is Pagans fourth 7inch. Dead End America is one of their best cuts ever! Topped with a great cover of Little Black Egg on the flip.
“A lot of guys’ll tell you they started playing because they were inspired by Hendrix or heard a Velvet Underground record but my motives were much more prosaic. My girlfriend, later my wife, Mary, kept breaking up with me so she could date guys in bands. I reasoned that the quickest way to win her heart would be to start my own band, which is ironic because later she would hate the fact I was in bands.”

pop, hard core y punk publicados entre los 70 y hoy en día. He descubierto el blog hace un par de horas (gracias a PCL Linkdump una vez más) y no he podido revisarlo como se merece, pero ya me he topado con singles de GG Allin, The Germs, The Boys, Pagans, The Residents, e incluso un par de discos patrios: “Ayudando a los enfermos” de Siniestro Total y El Coche De La Plas de PVP. Además, tienen una radio online, en la que se puede escuchar una selección de lo mejor del blog cómodamente en el
Whats This Shit Called Love I was gonna post “Six and Change” as well but the always-cool Something I Learned Today, beat me to it. Seriously, check it out. Its an amazing track. For another dose of the Pagans, consult KBD Records . “Dead End America” is more representative of how the rest of The Pagans material sounds. Great songs but kinda tinny….

Dead End America is in my Top 5 of best Pagans songs, so amazing, what a masterpiece. I grew up in their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio around the same time so I totally understand how they came up with a tune like Dead End America. Speaking of the Pagans, I heard that someone once found a copy of the “Six and Change” 7″ in a friggin’ thrift store in Cleveland… and probably paid less than one dollar for it. [Sob, sob...]
