BLACK RANDY AND THE METRO SQUAD "Pass the Dust, I Think I’m Bowie” Vinyl LP

Before there was a template for LA punk, Black Randy and the Metrosquad were already tearing it up and throwing the pieces at each other. Confrontational, hilarious, genuinely weird, and completely unbothered by what anyone thought punk was supposed to sound like.

Pass the Dust, I Think I'm Bowie collects their late-70s output into one gloriously unhinged document. Randy Agnew was a provocateur in the truest sense, and the Metro Squad, featuring players who rotated through the Dangerhouse Records orbit alongside the Dils, Bags and Alley Cats, kept up with him note for caustic note. The title alone tells you everything, and nothing. This is the sound of a scene that was cannibalising itself from the inside out, and loving every second. Limited edition colour vinyl pressing, which means when it's gone, it's gone.

Limited edition colour vinyl LP. Handle with appropriate irreverence.

Fans of: The Screamers, Dangerhouse Records-era LA punk, early Devo, any punk record that makes you slightly uncomfortable.
