{"product_id":"dicks-kill-from-the-heart-lp","title":"Dicks - Kill from the Heart LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDicks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e' debut LP has been acknowledged as a foundational statement in punk ever since its initial 1983 release. Following their first single, 1980's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDicks Hate The Police\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and a live split with fellow Austinites the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Boys\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eKill From The Heart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e does not disappoint. Originally released on SST, the album stands apart from the mass of generic thrash-hardcore contemporaries -- fueled by the manic, but controlled power of singer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary Floyd\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e along with the original lineup of guitarist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlen Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, bassist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuxf Parrot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and drummer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePat Deason\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Dicks were operating at an absolute peak at this point, alternating damaged workouts that suggest \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlipper\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo Trend\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on one end and highly charged tracks in the vein of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMinutemen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTales of Terror\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on the other. Straight out of the gate on 'Anti Klan,' the band trades blues-grounded guitar with squealing feedback and intensely political lyrics. The raw emotional sincerity of Floyd, who was openly gay in Reagan-era Texas, provides unmistakable urgency to songs such as 'No Nazi's Friend,' 'Rich Daddy' and the title track, which remains one of the stone-cold classic punk anthems. Forty years on, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eKill From The Heart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e continues to smolder -- an arresting testament to the possibilities embodied in creative rage. It is no surprise that Dicks have been covered by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMudhoney\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJesus Lizard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and more. Superior Viaduct is honored to present this truly essential reissue.
