Kids of Widney High
Apparently this was a private cassette only release before Rounder re-issued this late 80’s effort made by L.A. area disabled high schoolers. All original material by the kids which is cool, but unfortunately it sounds like they got some shredding at the local guitar center dude to back them musically. I suppose some would find that this only adds to the patina though. Regardless, it’s hard not to smile while listening to songs like “Insects”.

Could have been the title tune for an 80’s horror film, although insects were by then long replaced by psycho maniacs.
You’re right, the guitarist is a total cliche.
hah – i always wondered where dr. octagon went to school
I have this wax. It’s about as punk as it gets.
“Throw away the trash” is a monster jam.
