The Zero Boys managed to come with one of the best early 80’s punk records, or one of the best records ever, period. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom 1979 to 1983, the Indianapolis-based Zero Boys were the finest hardcore blitz in the Midwest if not all the lower 48 states. Compiled and released as a post-mortem following the band’s breakup, History Of... is the proof, if more was needed, that their take of American hardcore wasn’t all white bread numbers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYeah, they played shows with Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Subhumans, and others but in Terry “Hollywood” Howe’s guitar there was harmonious terror and unstoppable cadence.

Meanwhile, frontman, Paul “Z” Mahern provides a constant wash from beginning to end. Originally released in 1984 with a limited-edition reissue in 2009, this 40th anniversary edition includes the original LP of ‘History Of...’ and a 7” featuring four live recordings never previously pressed to vinyl and recorded at iconic hardcore\/punk venue Crazy Al’s in 1980: “Livin’ In The 80’s”, “Stick To Your Guns”, “Commies”, and “I’m Absent.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA1        Drive In\u003cbr\u003eA2        Black Network News\u003cbr\u003eA3        Splish Splash\u003cbr\u003eA4        Inergy\u003cbr\u003eA5        Johnny Better Get\u003cbr\u003eA6        Dingy Bars Suck\u003cbr\u003eA7        Seen That Movie Before\u003cbr\u003eA8        High Places\u003cbr\u003eA9        Blood's Good\u003cbr\u003eB1        Human Body\u003cbr\u003eB2        Mom's Wallet\u003cbr\u003eB3        Positive Change\u003cbr\u003eB4        Amerika\u003cbr\u003eB5        New Generation\u003cbr\u003eB6        Livin' In The '80s\u003cbr\u003eB7        Stoned To Death\u003cbr\u003eB8        Stick To Your Guns\u003cbr\u003eB9        I'm Bored\u003cbr\u003eB10        Piece Of Me\u003cbr\u003eC1        Livin' In The '80s\u003cbr\u003eC2        Stick To Your Guns\u003cbr\u003eD1        Commies\u003cbr\u003eD2        I'm Absent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56665921421644,"sku":"656605018935","price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/SC189V1-6679ba1ea731c.jpg?v=1770365365","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/zero-boys-history-of-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
