We're slackers...

We don't update The P5 every day like we used to. So when we slack off, just use the search box up there on the right. Yeah, the red box, that's it. Search The P5 Archives. You'll be glad you did.

MDC

|

On this date, MDC released their self-titled debut album. The MDC stood for Millions Of Dead Cops. The Los Angeles, California hardcore punk band had relocated from Austin, Texas where they were known as The Stains. "John Wayne Was A Nazi", originally recorded and released by The Stains, was re-recorded and included on the MDC album. The band kept changing their name but were always known as "MDC". Among the names that the band went by were More Dead Cops, Millions of Deformed Children and Multi-Death Corporations...and, of course, for this album...Millions Of Dead Cops. They disbanded in 1995 but have become active in recent years.

I saw these guys in 1982 at some big hardcore show at the Beacon Theater in NYC.

The bill was:
False Prophets, MDC and Dead Kennedys.

Best stage dive I ever saw. Some kid dove off the head of a 20ft high statue on the side of the stage. The crowd actually caught him.
