All power to the freaky children of Northhampton
Suburban boredom in the early 1980s was the catalyst for every good thing in the world today (like Ritalin). It inspired bright small town kids with overactive brains like the RUSSIAN MEATSQUATS to create some of the greatest unassuming and unpretensious freakshow hardcore ever made.
These kids had too much bad hair and too much time on their hands. But luckily the Lehigh Valley in eastern pennsylvania has always been blessed with lots of outlets for destructive/creative kids; like dog clippers & community radio courtesy of Lehigh University and Muhlenburg College (back then, the college kids were way too square to be playing anything other than REM or some shit, forget about hardcore or anything very underground. The vast majority of the cool shows were run by 15 to 18 year old high school locals from the community summer staffs). They had way too many weird things on their minds too. Cossack dances! Socks on heads! Chunk lisps! Kev drives! Artfag no wave records! DEVOlution! Gay Slang! Local Retards That Every Small Town Has (like Mice and Men)! Girls! Boys! Or simply how boring life was unless you did something un-boring. - Kill from the Heart
