Before the L?YRES, there was DMZ! And what a gloriously unhinged bunch of garage-punk maniacs they were! Led by the late, great Jeff Conolly, Boston's DMZ took the rawest ingredients of '60s garage punk, threw in the attitude of the New York Dolls and the Stooges, and cranked the whole bloody thing up until the wheels came flying off. No wonder these guys became such an important part of the American garage revival!

Originally released in 1981 on Greg Shaw's Voxx label, "Relics" is an absolutely essential collection of DMZ's wild early recordings, produced by Craig Leon. From their frantic takes on the 13th Floor Elevators' "You're Gonna Miss Me" and the Pretty Things' "Rosalyn" to the savage garage attack of "Busy Man", "Can't Stand The Pain" and "Barracuda", this is primitive rock'n'roll at its most gloriously out of control. Fuzz, attitude, screaming vocals and enough teenage frustration to power a small city!

Munster Records brings this garage-punk classic back with five additional tracks and liner notes by Jeff Conolly himself. A fantastic tribute to one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the late-'70s American underground, and an absolute must for fans of the L?YRES, the Stooges, the Dolls and the whole damn Nuggets universe. Turn it up!
