Title: dB Smashers - I Got Loaded
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1983 / Punk / Power Pop Punk / Milwaukee
Matrix #: ER-399
Condition: NM/M/Sealed (VZ)
Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology The band came out of Milwaukee’s DIY underground, where punk and new wave overlapped in smaller club circuits far from the New York and L.A. press centers.
-
Media Narrative Records like this often slipped through the cracks on release, which is exactly why they later became cult-bin favorites for collectors chasing regional U.S. punk and power-pop obscurities.
-
Studio Lore I Got Loaded sits in that early-80s zone where melody and sneer coexisted, showing how a lot of American underground bands were loosening pure punk into something catchier without going fully commercial.
