whiplash records. 45-104 / 2 tracks / 1979

500 made. Originally both 7”s were sold separately without sleeves; in the mid/late 80s leftover copies were sold together as a double pack with pic sleeve. Drummer Mark sent this info (thanks!): “Rik Rivits played guitar for the Slugs around the same time he sang in Corpse Grinders (with Killer Kane from the NY Dolls). The [Slugs] consisted of Mark Gotkin-Drums, Kenny Lewitt-Guitar, Lenny Lazer-Bass/Vocals, Rick Rivets-Lead Guitar and Ray Gilbert-Lead Vocals.“

Catchy 1977 punk à la Ramones, just a lot rougher and more rock influenced, in the style of the Dead Boys / Detroit bands. B side has more blues influence. Good. [8]  

77er-Punk-Rock erster Güte, Richtung Ramones, aber nicht so glatt; rauher und rockiger, wie beispielsweise die Dead Boys oder Detroit-Bands. Im Ganzen aber trotz der Härte sehr melodisch und eingängig. Die B-Seite ist ziemlich rockig/bluesig und erinnert mich etwas an die Sachen, die Mr Danzig zehn Jahre später fabriziert hat. Tolle Platte.
