"It's hard to believe that this nifty little record comes from Ann Arbor, a laid-back town which has never been a fertile environment for hardcore punk. The State present thrashed-out stuff characterized by a primitive metallic guitar, commonsense political lyrics, and a certain degree of instrumental sloppiness. "Attention" is especially hot, with its roaring stop/start structure and singalong "Yes sir/No sir" chorus. A fine debut effort." - Maximum R'N'R
State doesn’t need to earn punk cred with its history. Tendler started the Detroit area band in 1979. In 1981 Woodward and drummer Keir Murry joined, and they went hardcore in the style of Black Flag and Minor Threat. They played with the Misfits, Negative Approach, toured the East Coast and played NYC’s famed punk bar CBGBs.  The hardcore scene became “generic” around 1985, Woodward said, and State broke up in 1987.  They made a seven-song EP in 1983, “No Illusions,” that “kinda became a classic record of the era,” Woodward said. When a record store got the band to do a reunion in 2003, “People came from all over the country to hear us, and we were like, ‘Wow, I guess we’re better-known than we realized,” he said.

"State were an early HC band from Ann Arbor, Michigan...  This is their best release from their discog...  They broke up early on and are now a footnote in hardcore history..."

Welcome to the Skeleton Closet!


I was a rabid music collector for 30+ years - Punk and Hardcore in the early-Eighties, Death Metal and Grunge in the late-Eighties, Industrial and Experimental in the early-Nineties, and Goa Trance and Psytrance in the late-Nineties and early-2000s…


I also worked at a record company for 13 years, toured North America with numerous international acts, DJed internationally, produced festivals, and had a clothing importing company.  So in this time, I’ve accumulated a lot of interesting and limited items...


Family life and other life changes have made me decide to unload my collection.  For the majority of the items, I have been the original owner of the item.  I try to be accurate on my description and condition of the items.  I have a lot to sell, so check back often -- I’ll try to keep the new listings coming weekly...
