Joe of Last Days has an excellent post on the 80′s NJ/USA scene. In the comment section we started to talk about a forgotten Mutha Records band named Partners In Crime who released a great 12″ which will be posted in the near future. The music is great but what tops it is the members outrageous biker look. You have to see to believe. This led me to Ducky Boys. I mean take a look at these tuff guys! Should I laugh, be scared or just cry?

The guy on the left has to be a genuine retard. Camouflage dress and a hand grenade in his right hand? Ha ha you gotta be kidding. Oh wait! Who’s on the right? It’s Alma Merced holding a knife while thinking about who she’s going to cut next. Hope it’s not me :(. With names like Al Catraz(Guitar, Vocals), Charlie Cutemup(Bass), Alma Merced(Vocals), Phlegm(Drums) and Broadway Turk Superstar(Vocals) they’re trying to convince us that they want to be mercenaries hooked on junk that just need some little loving tonight.

Here’s a treat for all you punx who wants to hear old classics instead of new records. Enjoy a song you know too well and share your sexual fantasies and memories of the tanned and attractive O.C. boys in the comments.

Is there anything else I have to write here? I’ve used the word punx, mentioned cute boys and encouraged you to write down your sexual fantasies… Nah, I think that’s all that has to be included in a post.

Their first and best release. Not to be confused with The Numbers that later became The Riptides. Look at the sleeve!!!! I just love those typography rich sleeves and add to that a nice textured paper. The things I’ve heard post this release is a little too soft and the energy is gone. Too bad cause this 7″ is a KILLER record and promised a lot. From Sydney/Australia.

Swedish proggressive punk with saxophone…I know that this description will make you run a mile or two to avoid what you think is crap. But please take a listen to this – it´s a genuin DIY-feeling put to vinyl in 1978. Wonderful!
