Punk Rock and Other Assorted Bullshit

Detention

July 25th, 2005 | Posted by: Eric | Category: 80's Punk


Keeping in line with the death theme (and the name dropping post from a couple of weeks ago) it was only a matter of time before I posted some tracks from Detention. Their “Dead Rock and Rollers” was comped on Killed By Death #2 and is a crowd favorite. I don’t know much in the way of band history, other than they were from New Jersey and released an LP in addition to their “Dead Rock ‘n Rollers”/”El Salvador” single. The live material was originally released on BCT’s tape compilation I’m Buck Naked and subsequently reissued as a 7″. In 2001 Grand Theft Audio released the bands first album and a second, never issued album as Expelled.

From their 1983 single
Detention - Dead Rock ‘n Rollers.mp3
Detention - El Salvador.mp3

From their Live in 1984 7″
Detention - Too Noisy.mp3
Detention - Let’s Fight.mp3

  • buy Expelled
  • Buy the live 7″ and BCT material from Ponk111

      “Dead Rock & Rollers They Were Out-Of-Controllers, Now They’re Dead, Dead, Dead!” A very funny single indeed.
