The Dicks
United States - Austin, TX

PEACE? 7" EP 01. No Fucking War 02. Nobody Asked Me 03. I Hope You Get Drafted Label: R Radical Records Format: 7" EP Released: 1984

Reviews: Here are three ditties that rouse all the "protest and survive" sentiments you might need. "No Fuckin' War" is a slow, grueling masterpiece that's simple but powerful, and will have you singing along before the end. The other songs are short, quickly-delivered minor chord headbangers in the best of the new Dicks style. I especially like "I Hope You Get Drafted", an unrelenting anti-stupidity song directed at "apolitical" punks, which I'd like to see being sung in the streets, busses, and homes all over the world. Somebody finally had the guts to come right out and say it. -Ruth Schwartz (from Maximum Rock'n'Roll #12, March 1984)
