"TV Party" comes off Damaged, the Black Flag album that hit the racks in November 1981, and Greg Ginn wrote both the music and the words. Henry Rollins handles the lead vocal, barking it out with a grin you can practically hear, while Ginn and Dez Cadena saw away on guitars, Chuck Dukowski thumps the bass and Robo keeps the drums thrashing. It's hardcore at its most knockabout: fast, loud, dumb in the smartest way, and over before you can reach for the remote.
