(PR) Los Angeles' own legendary Bomp! Records label has announced it will reissue L.A. punk band The Weirdos seminal recording "Destroy All Music!" on October 30th. In honor of the 30th anniversary of its release, "Destroy All Music" compiles their first single on Bomp! and the 1979 "Who, What, When, Where, Why?" EP in its entirety. Also included in this special release is The Weirdos first demos, released here for the first time. Although some of these tracks have appeared on various compilations before, they have never been released together in their original form. "Destroy All Music" has been remastered and includes 12-page liner notes penned by long time Weirdo, guitarist/bassist Cliff Roman, as well as cool photos and graphics.
In many ways the greatest of Los Angeles' punk bands, The Weirdos formed in 1977 with brothers John (vocals) and Dix Denney (guitar) recruiting Cliff Roman (bass) and Nickey Beat (drums) to round out the bands' lineup. In early 1977 their mighty sound and singular style were the big-bang igniting the L.A. punk rock scene, as they proclaimed "we're not punks, we're weirdos from Hollyweird!" This wasn't just goofy sloganeering, this was a stance intended to distinguish them from the burgeoning punk rock scenes in New York and London.
