Big Boys - Where's My Towel / Industry Standard [LP]

Debut album originally released in 1981 from Austin, TX, punk visionaries, Big Boys. _x000B__x000B_The Big Boys got their start in the late 1970s Austin punk scene. The band was fronted by the occasionally cross-dressing Randy a€œBiscuita€ Turner, with Tim Kerr on guitar, Chris Gates playing bass, and a series of drummers - the best known of which is Rey Washam (Scratch Acid). Unlike the rest of the early hardcore scene of the day, they werent afraid to stray away from superfast tempos in favor of some nice white boy skate funk._x000B__x000B_Beyond the funk tendencies, the band at times played an early brand of post-punk not unlike their contemporaries The Minutemen. Thanks to their inclusion on some of Thrasher magazines first a€œskate comps,a€ the Big Boys were hugely popular amongst the new 80s skate punk crowd. They were also known for the encouragement of crowd participation, breaking down the barriers between performer and audience. They even covered Kool & the Gang, never wavering when venturing into uncharted musical territory._x000B__x000B_Now yall, go start your own banda€¦
