BLACK FLAG released their debut LP on this day in 1981. "Police Story" deals with police in a very personal way. It's kind of half and half. It doesn't really deal with police in a political way. It deals with them as an individual up against police problems...
MISFITS played live at On Broadway, San Francisco on this day in 1981. It was the first of three late-November west coast gigs. Two of the songs - "All Hell Breaks Loose" and "We are 138" - were included on the original Evilive 7" (December 1982) and 12"...

...we started out with the help of a huge band in the punk scene, we didn't know how to play anything but we had the rock'n'roll of Stiff Little Fingers in our blood and the masters from Discharge with Cal (laughs). About our first record, it was funny...
THE 4-SKINS recorded a session for the John Peel programme on this day in 1981. It never aired. Peel, who had played "1984" (from Strength Thru Oi!) that May, typically aired sessions a few weeks after recording. On 4 July a gig at the Hambrough Tavern, Southall with...
