The Unboxed Set

The Unboxed Set is precisely what the title states; a single disc compilation that includes all four of the Angry Samoans' official 12" releases prior to their break-up, including their classic 1982 release, Back from Samoa. The music of the Angry Samoans contained all the elements for a Punk Rock band: juvenile humor, raging barre chords, snotty vocals and most importantly, a strong sense of justice. In addition, they also had great songwriting and an unusually tight rhythm section that placed them several notches above the others. From vocalist 'Metal' Mike Saunders' primordial screams on 'Ballad of Jerry Curlan' to the hilarious false-folk of 'STP Not LSD'. Release also includes truly inspired liner notes from guitarist Gregg Turner, which perfectly capture the band's recklessness, nihilism and uncompromising punk attitude.
