Their first recorded output was on the Modern Method This Is Boston, Not L.A. compilation LP in 1982. They contributed six tracks along with other early Boston Hardcore band Gang Green.

Frontman Bryan Jones and rhythm guitar player Dave Aronson left the band early on. Bryan Jones had broken his leg at one of their gigs and his parents denied him permission to play in the band any further. Bassist Rick Jones (Bryan's brother) switched to vocals and Chris Doherty of Gang Green took over on rhythm guitar. It was this line-up that recorded the classic 12 song LP Is This My World? on X-Claim in 1983, featuring songs such as "Cracks In The Wall", "Build Me A Bomb" and "Vietnam Syndrome". They broke up in 1985, but reformed in 1987 with a more speed metal sound and released an LP on Taang! Records entitled Kill Kill Kill. Reflex/Wolfpack Records released a limited re-issue of the Is This My World? LP in 2002. The band reunited again in 2004 and has been playing several shows per year around Boston since then. Their current recording plans, if any, are unknown.

awesome cult HC band from Boston! extreme energy on the entire album!

@LeslieWolf71

Absolutely! One of my earliest HC impressions. Even Slayer and other later US thrash bands had borrowed their speed, aggression, and energy in their music. Timeless old school shit!

@elimann1850

"His Hero is Gone" do a wicked cover of this, Highly suggested

@DazMalzbier

Yup, i actually just found out, that the version His Hero Is Gone did, which i absolutetly love, is a cover version. This sounds amazing too. Time to dig in Jerrys Kids.
