The Germs-M.I.A.

This is the Germs, the legendary LA punk band that famously sucked balls live (get "Gemicide). Here is "M.I.A.", it is a collection of their studio tracks and as you listen, you can slowly hear the band progress from fucking horrible to somewhat decent. Here is a band that quite literally learned to play their instruments as time went on. It is interesting to note that while they other bands were still playing a lot in the traditional "punk" mold, the Germs were playing faster and harder and breaking away from the three chord blueprint, making them one of the first bands that could be considered "hardcore". You could hear a lot of what would become the Southern California hardcore sound here and this was a few years before hardcore even came to be...Anyways, enjoy the Germs for what they had to offer...I'm not really sure what that was, but it was something. Enjoy!
