200. John Sox and Steve Grimes -FU's, Straw Dogs

Boston hardcore/metal legends John Sox and Steve Grimes of The FU's join us on this our 200th episode. The FU's are one of the original American Hardcore bands emerging on the scene in 1981, being included on the now famous "This is Boston not LA" compilation. They followed up the compilation with an incredible run with three hardcore masterpieces "Kill For Christ"(1982), "My America"(1983), and "Do We Really Want To Hurt You"(1984) before changing their name to The Straw Dogs and releasing three more records. They have now reformed with original members Sox, Grimes, and drummer Bob Furapples with a great new record entitled "Death Squad Nostalgia". We go through the band's entire history including their appearance at the Gallery East reunion show in 2010. Enjoy!
