I was Lenny's roommate for the summer of 98 and still know him well. He was so humble and played in a reggae band and I filled in on bass once. This was in Ojai, California I was only 16 and was playing in a punk band with our mutual friend Josh called Disfunction. Lenny is a good dude. Down to earth and funny as hell. I miss him dearly.
These guys don’t get anywhere the credit they deserve. Classic Philly guys as well, all great fellas. Thanks for the history, I missed their heyday by under 10 years. But they influence me to play punk rock!
i love pure hell stinker spider chip and lenny they are true to the last detail spider passed away east side club forever they took me under there wing. they deserve a feature film if i can ever put it together its first on my list

Basically these guys are punk rock lions, apex predators of rockn’roll, every once in a while punk bands will show up that can hang with this sound: Baseball Furies, Clone Defects more recent ones that come to mind. Last week saw Amyl and the Sniffers they rip with one guitar handling both rhythm and lead!

props for old punk rock bands that nobody ever heard of getting respect today because of the internet.
100% agree, however I so wish they received the credit they deserved when they were playing.
@@aayobruv they should have played with the Ramones
Why the hell did nancy try to cancel them? Also I will never know why this band isn't a household name in punk rock/music. These guys are incredible.
Gone untreated, gonorrhea & syphilis can cause brain damage.
They were pretty hardcore for a first wave punk band.
@@C.SchitzPopinovwhere did that comment come from

I think I was commenting on the original post about: “why would Nancy try to cancel them?”
Get ya man, happens often. Weird glitch.

Moses Presley

I'm currently writing an essay about black people in punk music. So cool talking about this band.
I hope you talk about their use of the swastika, and how it was seen different then as it is used today.
These guys and death two of my favorites we need more
I met Chip Wreck in Philly once, hes a cool dude.
They without a doubt the earliest urban punk group and from pa! They and runaways joan jett are the gate crashers true punk rock!
Right on!
you're an inspiration. a truly awesome band, up there with the best. we owe so much to you and your ilk. cheers!
EXCELLENT - Couldn't find the "Feel So Bad" live gig that starts at 2:25 - if anyone can guide me there
this band is amazing, i discovered it recently.
the bassist is a cool dude..he takes the bus with us sumtimes
That guitar solo at the end does sound like some hendrix shit, it's a damn shame they don't have a album

Such a great band!!! Real punk back when they used to yell, not scream! Sick AF!!!
a truly awesome band. we owe so much to you and bands of your ilk. cheers!

Nice sounds. I like the tightness to the sound. I think they have a slightly rebelious unhinged but crisp at the same time sound
We need more of this vibe! This is great.
