"This record is a must for any self-respecting punk's collection. After all, are there any three words that sum up the punk sound better than Loud Fast Rules!? In 1977, after hearing The Damned, Motorhead and The Clash, guitarist Denise Mercedes returned from London and decided to start her own band. She recruited LES poet Patrick Mack on guitar and vocals, artist and fashionista Nick Marden on bass and, after trying out the likes of Jerry Nolan (Heartbreakers, NY Dolls) and Johnny Blitz (Dead Boys) on drums, settled on a then 11 year-old Harley Flanagan (Cro- Mags, Harley's War). Soon the Stims gained a rabid fan club of the youngest rock 'n' rollers in the city and became regulars at legendary clubs like Max's Kansas City, CBGB's and Danceteria, sharing bills with bands like Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Bad Brains, Suicide, B-52s and The Cramps. A long awaited re-issue on vinyl of the celebrated ROIR cassette, the Stimulators' Loud Fast Rules! is more than just a record; it's a piece of New York punk history. Loud Fast Rules! is the Stimulators' only full-length piece of work (their only other release being a handful of coveted 7"s) and it captures the band doing what they do best, playing a sharp, fast, energetic live set of catchy, feisty songs that mix punk with metal, reggae and good old fashioned rock 'n' roll."
