"Sturdy Wrists" comes off Circa: Now!, the second record by the American punk rock outfit Rocket from the Crypt, which came out in 1992 on Cargo Music and Headhunter Records, and it's credited to the whole band, words and music. It was one of the songs they made a video for, along with "Ditchdigger".
Circa: Now! was the first Rocket from the Crypt album with drummer Atom and saxophonist Apollo 9 aboard, and the relentless touring behind it built them a name in the underground, loud enough that the major labels came knocking. Interscope signed them in 1993, bought the album from Cargo/Headhunter and put it out again on a bigger scale, and Swami Records, the label singer and guitarist John Reis later started, released a remastered version in 2004 as Circa: Now! +4.
