Drug Test - Needle In Your Neck

As I'm sitting down to write this blog entry, I'm wracking my brain trying to remember if I ever actually saw Drug Test play.  I mean, I did buy this 7" at a show that Drug Test played.. But I have no recollection of seeing them.  It's sad really, because I'm a fan of this record.  It's also sad that this was the only record that Drug Test released. 



It's funny.  Drug Test released one record, but I've heard and read a lot of crazy stories about this band.  Stories ranging from jail time, felony charges, 16x16's at In n' Out, and well... throwing people "down the stairs".  To me that is part of the allure of Drug Test, not knowing whether the stories you heard about them were completely true, or only partly true.  Either way none of that really matters, because what matters is the music.  And this record rules. 

400 on Black.
