Ruckus
Imagine a world where The Boys stumbled into a portal that transcended space and time in the middle of writing their seminal debut album, and emerged in Boston in 1981, shortly after the release of Gang Green's Another Wasted Night. I'm no theoretical physicist, but I know enough about cause and effect to tell you that the results would almost certainly sound exactly like Ruckus' debut 12" - a rock'n'roll party full of melody and a dedication to writing the perfect pop song, with the sandpaper-throated vocals and full-pelt energy of some of the greatest hardcore punk ever recorded. Pretty great, right? You betcha.
