Virgins

Virgins hail from Orlando, FL and feature Sam of New Mexican Disaster Squad. This record is not a rehash of NMDS, but a whole new animal, reminiscent of 80's hardcore punk like ADOLESCENTS and THE STOOGES. Raw, snotty, and full of angst, this trio also adds a dose of southern fried dirt rockin' hooks and riffs that are guaranteed to have people singing along with the stereo blasting on ten. Their record will either get you grounded or kicked out of your parents house as you mosh up your bedroom.
