Inside My Brain was the Angry Samoans' debut EP and their first vinyl of any kind, a 1980 blast of hardcore punk from a Los Angeles band formed in August 1978 by a couple of rock writers who'd traded the typewriter for the amplifier. "Metal" Mike Saunders, his sibling Bonze Blayk on lead guitar and Creem scribe Gregg Turner started it, with Todd Homer on bass and Bill Vockeroth on drums, and P.J. Galligan had come aboard on lead guitar by the time they cut it. Lee Ving gets the producer credit.
The songs are short, snotty and built to annoy, and the one that stuck was "Get Off the Air", a broadside fired straight at Rodney Bingenheimer, the influential DJ on KROQ. It got the band banned from a string of venues around LA and Hollywood, which for a band like this counted as a rave review.
