I could have been rocking out to this record for the past 15 years or so since it came out. Who knew? You?! Did you know?!<br /><br />You should a post on these guys. Spread the word. Hidden gem if there ever was one. I'd lump 'em in with Scratch Bongowax (also-forgotten genius) and maybe Head as the only bands doing this type ilk in that era. <br /><br />Surf's up...blaaaaaaaaerugh:<br />http://tulrich.com/ags/this_earth_sucks/<br /><br />(Entertaining liner notes there too... I especially enjoy the cringe-worthy story of the band being bootlegged by their own label, the pinnacle of industrious punk rock suave, Mystic Records!)mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-50328257599925877032008-09-06T16:05:00.000-04:002008-09-06T16:05:00.000-04:00Hey, sorry, but the mp3 files on this post are now...Hey, sorry, but the mp3 files on this post are now listen-only (non-downloadable) files. Pretty much nobody downloaded these anyway, even thought The Queers are one of the best bands ever. You guys are so friggin' gay.<BR/><BR/>For those of you who came to the party late, I will do my best to respond to any e-mailed requests for the original files.Brushbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439601217855895036noreply@blogger.com
