An Early Jerry Falwell Memory
Back in 1984-1985, I was in my first hardcore band. We went through a number of name changes before we decided on Nerve (our guitar player Chris Shea came up with that one).
One of my best friends at the time, Kelly Bray, was our singer, though the two of us wrote songs [...]

D.I.: Richard Hung Himself
Warning: this clip is from the 1980-something movie Suburbia and has some pretty unacceptable violence toward women in this scene. Problem is, none of the other clips had anything close to good sound quality. I saw DI a half-dozen times, great stuff. And no, the LA scene is in no way [...]

I had this tee shirt back in 1985 and ‘86. My parents hated it. I can’t even begin to count the times I saw the Circle Jerks back in the day, at the original Living Room, the Blue Pelican, and (if I recall) at the original Lupo’s. I saw them almost as [...]
