Loud Fast Rules! Stimulators record out next year!
Two Stimulators tracks, "Loud Fast Rules!" and "M.A.C.H.I.N.E." can also be found on our New York Thrash comp!
The Stims reunited in 2006 for the CBGB's benefit shows... who knows what next year will bring!
Finally! This punk cassette gem from the ROIR vaults will be released early next year on CD & vinyl!
FROM THE ORIGINAL '82 CASSETTE PRESS RELEASE:
"One of the first & most committed punk bands on the New York scene, the STIMULATORS were regulars in the flamboyant, electric days at Max's Kansas City & CBGB's. A shifting scene of drummers, including Jerry Nolan (NY Dolls, Heartbreakers) and Johnny Blitz (Dead Boys) finally resulted in charismatic bare-chested Harley Flanagan (ed's note: you might know him from the Cro-Mags, MOI and Murphy's Law!) - then 11 years old: and a resultant rabid fan club of the youngest rock 'n 'rollers on the East Coast, who introduced slam dancing, pit slamming and punk pogoing to NYC's blase art rock community.
"Essentially the STIMS are to the East Coast thrash history what the Germs were to Los Angeles - one of the first influential hardcore/punk bands. However, the STIMULATORS, who originate the anthemic punk slogan "Loud Fast Rules!", have gone on to incorporate a mixture of punk/heavy metal/reggae. Featuring HARLEY FLANAGAN, the bare chested now 14 year old drummer, glamour boy bassist NICK MARDEN, PATRICK MACK - astringent vocals and songwriter-lead guitarist DENISE MERCEDES."
