Feederz-Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss?


Feederz played some great poppy punk melodies with lyrics that combine militantly negative politics with an overall dickish attitude towards the world. So, you should basically be really surprised that I like them. They were originally formed in 1977, disbanded, and re-formed by vocalist (I think) Frank Discussion. This record is from back in '84 with DH Peligrino on drums, who cut his teeth on such seminal Dead Kennedys Recordings as the Plastic Surgery Disasters LP which is most commonly found with the In God We Trust Inc. EP, probably two of the best American punk records of the 1980's. Definitely an important and often under-recognized record in the history of Bay Area punk with its stripped-down sound that's too arty for hardcore and too fast and aggressive for post-punk (or new wave at the time) with a well-informed bad attitude. When it came out, this record's sleeve was made out of sandpaper so you couldn't take the record out without scratching it. Ballin'.
