Cultural Facts:

1. Scene Ecology Rubber City Rebels came out of Akron’s weird late-70s punk/new wave world, the same Rust Belt ecosystem that helped produce Devo, The Bizarros, and other nervous Ohio outsiders.
2. Studio Lore Their self-titled 1980 album was a major-label shot at turning raw Akron punk into something that could survive the new wave marketplace.
3. Collector Lore The record keeps its edge because it still feels more like basement punk and street-level rock & roll than polished radio new wave, making clean copies fun finds for punk collectors.
