Bit of trivia about the cover art, its a painting called the Standard Bearer drawn by Hubert Lanzinger for Adolf Hitler in the mid 1930s. After the war an American soldier came across the painting and slashed it with his bayonet, leaving the mark you see under Hitler's eye here making it look like he is crying.

Not sure, though germs and bad brains both could both be considered.. I think my vote would be for raw power era stooges. Songs like “I got a right” Personally I like the germs just a little more than stooges, but love em both!
@@iamironman954 That's a classic song, however I specifically asked concerning Hardcore. Surely that goes in the punk rock category in that case, not hardcore. I personally find it problematic to put a 'punk' label on any music pre 1976, minus possibly some Ramones and Sex Pistols live shows and demo tapes. I don't believe the Ramones released anything prior to January 1976.

Scar of war makes him look cooler
@@KalosSparagmosSorry, nothing could make 1-balled, puffy face, square stache Hitler look cool
holy shit the sound quality.
Lyrics
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin' for a future, the world's my aim
So gimme, gimme your hands, gimme, gimme your minds
So gimme, gimme your hands, gimme, gimme your minds
Gimme, gimme this, gimme, gimme that
I want toy tin soldiers that can push and shove
I want gun boy rovers that'll wreck this club
I'll build you up and level your heads
We'll run it my way, cold men and politics dead
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin' for a future, the world's my aim
So gimme, gimme your hands, gimme, gimme your minds
So gimme, gimme your hands, gimme, gimme your minds
Gimme, gimme this, gimme, gimme that
I'll get silver guns to drip old blood
Let's give this established joke a shove
We're gonna wreak havoc on this rancid mill
I'm searchin' for something even if I'm killed
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin' for a future, the world's my aim
So gimme, gimme your hands, gimme, gimme your minds
So gimme, gimme your hands, gimme, gimme your minds
Gimme, gimme this, gimme, gimme that
Empty out your pockets, you don't need their change
I'm giving you the power to rearrange
Together we'll run to the highest prop
Tear it down and let it drop
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin' for a future, the world's my aim
So gimme, gimme your hands, gimme, gimme your minds
So gimme, gimme your hands, gimme, gimme your minds
Gimme, gimme this, gimme, gimme that
Circle one
I'm Darby Crash
A social blast
Chaotic master
I'm Darby Crash
Your meccas gash
Prophetic stature
I'm Darby Crash
A one way match
Demonic flasher
Deep, deep, deep, in my eyes
There's a round, round, round,
circle of lives
It's a tame, tame, tame sort of world
Where you're caught, bought,
taught, as it twirls...
I'm Darby Crash
A social blast
Chaotic master
Snap, crackle, pop
Snap, crackle, pop
Snap, crackle, pop-in here
Snap, crackle, pop
Snap, crackle, pop
Snap, crackle, pop-out there
No god
I've read every book in the bible story
And all is every brought me was
another worry
Don't want god give me a jury,
See...there's no God to make
up my mind-
No God givin' me time...
I peered in every window where
I saw a cross
But I could never see just what they saw
In that piece of plaster on the wall,
See...there's no God to fear-
No God to hear your cries...
I'd prey to anything out there
If only I was given some sign to bear
But while I wait I'm gonna live,
See...there's no God to watch over me-
No God for human beings...
When I small I obeyed
his every word
Handed down to me by some
thoughtful blur
But now I am as big as he,
See...No God bigger than I-
No God frightening me...
In my image I made he him
and I gave him life
So he burned me,
the creature has risen and I
Think you can see just what it is
that's drivin'
Me around round...
We are the church we are good
we've got your
Millions God know we should...
Fuck yea, a punk classic
Damn I’ve never heard this quality before! Very nice!!!
Yeah same! every other version is slowed down jut a little this is the true pitch of the songs
These are from the “what we do is secret” ep. I think the lexicon devil 7”s were pressed to play slower and distorted for some reason
最高！
Is this possibly the first release that could be considered Hardcore Punk? Recorded early 1978, released in May 1978.
Perhaps? I thought Middle Class had it? This was all my scene when I was in the 10th grade.
@@daygloman Out of Vogue came out in January 1979 apparently.
Wasn't Bad Brains earlier ?

Temazo tras temazo
excellent.
The intro part to No God was always so cool to me. A nice little ditty.
When they first sat down and got their bearings as a band, Darby knew right away that Pat could play the guitar.
I always thought it was a yes riff
@@jimmiemenezes I’d never heard that. Which song?
@@Za86m"roundabout"
its the beginning to yes's roundabout
Oh that's not what I thought you meant by full ep hahaha
@skate add a Germ song
Something wrong, too fast 1st verse
the early 2010s US surf garage scene in less than 6 minutes
I cant hear any surf in the germs lol where did u get that from
@@kelechi_77 read it again bro. 2010s surf/garage not 50s surf rock
Anybody else still have their germs burn? Am i dating myself with that one?
who gave it to you?

I got mine in 1979. Sandra gave me one, because James gave her one ...
