One Vinyl, 7"45, Unofficial Releases. One on white vinyl with printed Labels. A reproduction of a Texas punk classic!
Dicks were formed in Austin in 1980 by Gary Floyd Buxf Parrott, Pat Deason and Glen Taylor. Their first single "Dicks Hate The Police", released in 1980, brought them much attention and is now regarded as a classic hardcore punk record. In the song Gary Floyd sings from the perspective of a policeman who abuses his power by going after minorities and taking his anger out on civilians.
Dicks often played shows with fellow pioneering Texas hardcore bands MDC, The Offenders and The Big Boys; Dicks' full-length debut was a split album with The Big Boys entitled Live at Raul's Club. Dicks were unique for their era in that some of their songs, such as "Saturday Night at the Bookstore" and "Off Duty Sailor", addressed issues of homophobia and sexual identity.
In 1983, Floyd left Texas for San Francisco and, with new members Tim Carroll, Sebastian Fuchs, and Lynn Perko (formerly of all-women band The Wrecks), a second version of Dicks began recording and playing. The LP Kill From The Heart was released in 1983 on SST Records and These People followed in 1985 on Alternative Tentacles. The group disbanded in 1986, although occasional one-off reunion shows featuring the Austin lineup occurred through the '80s and '90s.
