Fear – The Record (LP, Album, 1982, Slash SR-111)

Why This Record Matters
Fear’s debut captures the confrontational energy of early-’80s Los Angeles punk, pairing short, abrasive songs with tight playing. “Let’s Have a War,” “I Don’t Care About You,” and “New York’s Alright If You Like Saxophones” show the band’s provocative humor and attack. The album became a standout of the local punk scene.
