Angry Samoans

The Angry Samoans is an American punk rock band from the first wave of American punk. Formed in August 1978 in Los Angeles, California, by early 1970s rock writer "Metal" Mike Saunders, his sibling lead guitarist Bonze Blayk and Gregg Turner (another rock writer, for Creem from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s), along with original recruits Todd Homer (bass) and Bill Vockeroth (drums). Other members include P.J. Galligan on lead guitar (1979-84), Jeff Dahl on vocals (1981) and Steve Drojensky on lead guitar (1984-88). Their first vinyl release was Inside My Brain in 1980. Studio albums include Back from Samoa (1982), STP Not LSD (1988) and the aptly titled album, The '90s Suck and So Do You. Their song "Get Off the Air" led them being banned in several venues in the LA / Hollywood district.
