Pegboy- Strong Reaction

Label: Touch & Go

Reissued 9/11/2026, Originally released 1991

Sure, members of Pegboy have been in other bands. Some might even say "seminal". You would expect that Pegboy would garner considerable attention by virtue of their pedigree alone (guitarist John Haggerty was in Naked Raygun, drummer Joe Haggerty served in Bloodsport and Effigies and singer Larry Damore and bassist Steve Saylors were in Bhopal Stiffs). Originally released in 1991, their first full length album Strong Reaction showed the band both fine tuning their considerable grasp on hard charging melodic punk on songs like "Superstar" and "What To Do," and branching into a toe crunching instrumental like "Locomotivelung" - that's what Slayer would sound like if they got haircuts and jobs.
