Being from the Midwest, the Zero Boys was an unlikely force to be reckoned with in 80's-era hardcore punk circles. The Indiana band's 1982 debut LP, Vicious Circle, has since become an unsung classic, so the good folks at Secretly Canadian Records are remastering and rereleasing it, along with plenty of extras.
From the one-sheet:
"When the Ramones lost it, the Zero Boys found it; Adding a slam brigade fist to the Blitzkrieg Beat. The Zero Boys managed to come with one of the best early 80's punk records, or one of the best records ever, period.
Between Vicious Circle and History Of, the entire recorded output of this legendary Midwest punk band's original line up is, finally, collected."
Both albums hit retailers on February 3. Get a track from each below.

I loved this band growing up. Apparently other folks do too because DJ Just sold a 7" of theirs for $750.00 bucks on eBay!
Lookout reissued this once before. History Of's never seen the reissue treatment, tho. That'll be nice. It'd be REALLY nice if they'd play around here, but their guarantee is something like $1500 plus travel and hotel.
