1. THE REALTORS - 'Guilty
By Association' - Realty 7" - USA - 1979
From their 'Buy Or Beware' E.P. Reminds me of the Hypnotics, but this came first. There's a Rave Up album available if you want more, though it's probably harder to find than the E.P.
2. THE AFFECTIVES - 'Rich
Bitch 17' - Criss Cross 12" - USA - 1982
From their sole 'Unrequited Love' E.P. An all-girl trio from NYC.
3. SCOOTER AND THE WORMS
- 'Sharon In Shades' - Self-released 7" - USA - 1982
From their debut release, the 'Strap-on Chili Dog' E.P. They had to be from the Mid-West.
4. THE WRECKS - 'Couldn't
Believe It' - Self-released cassette - USA - 1982
How great is this? Another all-girl band, this time from Reno, Nevada. Their 'Teenage Jive' cassette was their only recorded output. A tragedy.
5. SCREAMING URGE - 'We
Are Mono' - Garner LP - USA - 1980
From their eponymous first album. In case you hadn't noticed, some of the tracks here are featured on the excellent 'Hyped To Death' compilations, essential listening for anyone with a penchant for gnarly, obscure punk rock. Get them here.
6. THE WEIRDOS - 'It
Means Nothing' - Demo - USA - 1981
Available on 'Weird World' Volume 2. Different to the earlier version I comped previously.

7. RONNIE & THE
RAYGUNS - 'Nancy's China' - Broken Dish 7" - USA - 1982
Sole single, about how the U.S. economy was (allegedly) based around the state china collection that Nancy Reagan ordered that year. It was actually funded by private donations but everyone got upset anyway as the economy was in recession at the time.

8. THE TRANSISTORS - 'Riot Squad' - Open Circuit 7" - UK - 1981
First single. From Croydon, I believe. Their second ('Mothers Pride') came out 4 years later.

11. THE ACCELERATORS - 'All Right' - Wide Open 7" - USA - 1979
There were a few bands called the Accelerators and most, like these, only managed one release. In this case, the 'It's Cool To Rock' E.P.

12. THE DESCENDENTS - 'Pervert' - New Alliance LP - USA - 1985
'I Don't Want To Grow Up' is no 'Milo Goes To College', but it's a solid second album nonetheless. The lyrics could be better, however.

If you can't understand the words it's because the singer was on a combination of 9 Class A drugs at the time of this recording. From their sole 'Skank Or Die' E.P.
