Suicide Commandos

Make a Record
What can I say about the band largely credited with starting the whole MN Punk scene? Released in 1978 on Blank Records, these guys were the godfathers of MN Punk. Just a short list of bands that were influenced by them: Husker Du, Replacements, & Soul Asylum. Um, those bands, and their contemporaries pretty much laid the groundwork for everyone else that followed.
The album has been re-released on CD by (I believe) Garage D’or Records . You need to buy it!
You can get a rip of the old vinyl here .

  1. Ollie Stench Says:

    Make A Record was reissued on Polygram (the owners of Blank) in the mid-90’s and is as collectible as the original vinyl. Garage D’Or put out a cd version of Commit Suicide Dance Party and a cd-r of the Legendary KQ Concert, where the Commandos recorded a set of stuff at Sound 80 and was broadcast on KQRS.
