The Tragics - Mommi I'm a Misfit (1981)



The Tragics, or The Misfits as they were originally known before anyone had heard of Glenn & Friends, were another ripping late '70s style punk band from Albany and another one of the earliest examples of punk from the area. Kind of a passing resemblance to X-Ray Spex and the Damned here, but definitely rougher than either one ever were. This was another international cult hit thanks to the exposure of Killed By Death record compilations, and their records were highly sought after for a time. They rereleased the back stock of this record in 1990 as "Mommi I'm Still a Misfit" with updated sleeves and a photo book insert. In 2007 Loud Blaring Punk Rock (now known as Loud Punk Records) put out an official reissue that you can still stumble upon occasionally. Check it out!

Tracklist:
  1. Pretty Boys
  2. Laughing Lover
  3. When I Was Young
  4. Mommi, I'm a Misfit
