…Headed up by lead guitarist Jeff Salen, this cult favorite made only one album, featuring hard driving punk/pop songs. Fans have been screamin' for this one!I first became aware of this band when I was in Junior High School. It was the late 70's, folks were mainly into Disco. After seeing the Sex Pistols on Good Morning America, I was drawn into the world of Punk Rock, never to return! Now, as I near the age of 40, I'm reminded of one of my all time favorite records! Tuff Darts was a major inspiration for me in my youth (says something about me, eh?). I can still remember all the lyrics to "your love is like nuclear waste" and "rats". I got my vinyl from, believe it or not, the Columbia Record Club! Got it with Never Mind the Bollucks! Amazing! Still have it somewhere! - Jason "mcdeavitt2" (Lincoln, NE United States)

I love this record - it's very hard to believe that they never even got a chance at a second album. I noticed the Nebraska reference at the end of the description - I bought my copy at Dirt Cheap - at its original location by campus - when I was finally able to drive myself the 100 miles to Lincoln and a "real" record store.
I believe rock-a-billy Robert Gordon was the original lead singer of this band. The band with him singing ,I believe was represented on the first CBGB album back in '76. I used to play All For The Love in one of my bands back then. Great song.
One of my all time faves. This, Richard Hell, and the Vibrators were on constant rotation back in the day. Thx.
bluesguy your believes are true! Not sure about your band reference though:)
Great band, one of my long-time favs!!
As always another classic album. LOVE THIS ALBUM. Thanks for posting it. I know my vinyl is buried somewhere.
This band was so ignored, but the music is timeless.
