Peace Thru Vandalism, by The Vandals

Peace Thru Vandalism

by The Vandals

supported by

That's Just Weird I’m not Pat Brown

Shawn-Ray Dalinsky The album that started it all. Even though only one member from this one remains (and not even playing the same instrument), still a classic record with the humorous lyrics the Vandals are and will always be known for.

about

This EP was recorded at Unicorn studios in Santa Monica in 1982. It was the first non Bad Religion release for Epitaph Records. The band at the time were proteges of TSOL. When the EP was released, the song Urban Struggle quickly achieved high rotation on KROQ in Los Angeles and a few other stations around the country, which was really unusual for a sloppy punk band from Huntington Beach.

Credit goes to Jay Bentley of Bad Religion for discovering the band and signing them to Epitaph which at the time was owned by all members of B.R.

WARNING:
The bonus tracks (which are only included in the digital download) are a vulgar sexist, homophobic, disaster from another era, and a previous singer who was part of a generation that looked for any means possible to shock society. They were broadcast in 1983 live on the radio on KPFK in Los Angeles while tons of stuff was being thrown all over the place making it difficult to even perform at all.

Agreed, the banter is juvenile and the singer and the bass player at the time weren't very good at it, but there's nothing we can do about it now. If you are under 18 ,do not order these recordings. But if you like punk rock. This is the real deal as it was done in the early era.
