Thrills "N.A.F.I.T.C." Original Boston Punk 1977-1981

I do love that 12 disc reference of female fronted punk from the 70s & 80s, but there's at least a few bands that were missed. For instance, the Thrills from Boston. I knew nothing of this band til I found it at Reckless Records. I'm always seeking out new female-fronted punk bands, so when I found a brand new copy of this LP, I snatched it up. They were more of a rock 'n' roll band, but they definitely had a punk edge. And they even have a rager that is under a minute long ("Drano Enema"). I eat it up. Unfortunately, no lyrics were included for this release. Do yr best to sing along. And enjoy!
