(M.I.A.) The Complete Anthology

by Germs

(M.I.A.) The Complete Anthology cover art

This essential archival release completely collects the brief, chaotic studio output of the Germs, the most notorious band of the late-1970s Los Angeles punk scene. Highlighting the unhinged, heavily poetic lyricism of frontman Darby Crash and the blistering, lo-fi guitar work of Pat Smear, it stands as a foundational monument of American hardcore. The compilation secures their legacy as brilliant, self-destructive architects of West Coast punk.
