Before they were THE DWARVES, these Highland Park misfits tore through the '80s as SUBURBAN NIGHTMARE, unleashing A Hard Day's Nightmare--a raw garage-punk blast now reissued on vinyl (only 500 copies!). Their chaos began with fuzzed-out riffs, snotty vocals, and a high school expulsion for staging a nude art stunt. More than an adolescent punk relic, this album is the blueprint of a band bound for cult status. Soon after, they became THE DWARVES, moved to San Francisco, and never looked back. Raw, wild, and real--grab this limited reissue before it's gone! This is where the chaos began: fuzzed-out riffs, snotty vocals, and the kind of degenerate energy that only kids with nothing to lose can summon. The band's infamy kicked off in 1983, when they were expelled from high school for hiring teen art models to pose nude with bowls of fruit on their heads during a pep rally. A year later, SUBURBAN NIGHTMARE was born, and the notorious Skull and Boners logo--courtesy of underground artist Jon Straus--sealed the deal. A Hard Day's Nightmare is more than just a teenage punk artifact--it's the unfiltered blueprint of a band about to go off the rails and onto cult status. Shortly after this release, they changed their name to THE DWARVES, relocated to San Francisco, and never looked back. Raw. Wild. Real. This vinyl reissue captures the filthy, fun spirit of early '80s punk like nothing else. Don't sleep--only 500 copies pressed! TRACKLIST SIDE A A1 - You Need Love A2 - Mad (+ Kind Of Sad) A3 - Brand New Cadillac A4 - Bonus Track SIDE B B1 - Love Makes Me A Monster B2 - 6" B3 - Every Night B4 - Suburban Bonus
