GG Tracks: Out For Blood / Drink, Fight And Fuck
Label: Schrott 009 MJ8205
Released: Fall 1983
Lineup: GG Allin (drums, rhythm guitar, vocals), Dan Salomon (lead guitar, bass).
Killer Kelsie, Ripp Cord and B. Toff are fictional credits.
InsertTwo songs from the previous “Hard Candy Cock” EP were pulled for this split 45 on the German Schrott label. Artless was Mykel Board’s band and their alliance on his “You’ll Hate This Record” compilation from the same year no doubt facilitated this release. For completists only, although the insert in which GG fills out his personal info is mildly amusing.
Reviews
Artless are great! Garage thrashers. Myke is a cool singer and lyricist. GG sings the usual stuff (drinking, fighting & fucking).

Don't waste your money, it could be funny. Sexist and Pro Nuclear war. Confusion. Dumb plus what do you expect from some of the worst bands in the world???? Thank you and goodnight...

A suitable mixture of retardation, one natural (GG), one contrived (Artless). GG's Scumfucs belt out a couple of sleazily-recorded garage guitar classics like "Drink, Fight And Fuck." Mykel Board's Art and Artless perform some fast, tightly-wound punk with a sarcastic Republican/Reaganoid stance. If anyone takes either of these "shocking" characters too seriously, they must be "dense-packed."

Art goes hardcore. Art always was hardcore. Before there was hardcore, there was Art. Then there was non-Art. Is Artless art? Art sells out. Art sings these amusing little hardcore ditties which are less “out” than other Art records. Does this make Art art, or less art than Art was previously? GG Allin & The Scumfucs do their little hardcore dittie also. “Drink, Fight & Fuck” is a way-cool tune. GG rules. No I won’t even ask if the Scumfucs are art.
