Active in the early '80s, The Gerbils was a high school hc punk band (with Moog!), from Farmington Hills/Detroit, Michigan. This collection of tunes ws recorded back in the summer of 1982, but despite the fact that the members went on to greater fame (in a.o. The Necros, Negative Approach, Shock Therapy, Laughing Hyenas, DaDa, Glass Heroes, Busted Hearts and The Afflicted), the master tapes were lost and the songs remained unreleased 'til now. So here are 17 warp speed songs with classic doom and gloom Reagan-era song titles such as 'What Don't I Hate?', 'Now I Want To Die', 'Kill Everyone' and 'I Don't Like Cops'.
