The Murder Junkies

The Murder Junkies  is an American punk rock band, best known for having been GG Allin’s final backing band before his death.  They perform songs from Allin’s back catalog as well as their own original material.  They are the third GG Allin backing band to bear the name.  (More from Wikipedia)

The two songs that introduced me to Phil Gammage were on a sampler album entitled The Electric Radio Sampler Music Test (1993).  The album is probably intended to be played inside record stores as an inducement to purchase albums on sale by the label who released it, Marilyn Records.  It doesn’t look like much, but there is some great music on this little CD.  

There is also a Kim Fowley song, “Rockin’ in the Balkans”, and the EP rounds out with “I Pledge Allegiance To Disobedience” by the outrageous GG Allin & the Murder Junkies.
