| The rippin' garage punk debut album by Austin's Poison 13 is being reissued by Red Parakeet Records on June 5th. |
Here's the scoop from Tim Kerr...
"Poison 13 started when Mike asked me if I would help him start a band. The first song we wrote together was One Step Closer. I was the music, he was the words. We were going to play once and it was going to be his night since it was his band. It kept going. This was the first record and came out around the same time as Lime Spiders and the Nomads first. It was all done in one night with Spot at the controls . It's out on vinyl again thanks to Joe at Red Parakeet (smile). It's up for pre-sale. You can get it at RedParakeetRecords.com."
