"In the summer of 1981, Black Flag recorded their first LP, Damaged, and Gregg Ginn, the band's guitarist and founder, made a deal with Unicorn Records to distribute it. MCA then became interested in Black Flag and agreed to release the album under its name and logo; However, after the album was released in 1982 and the MCA employees in charge of the deal heard it, they withdrew from their deal with the band, claiming that the album was 'anti-parent'. Unicorn did not pay the band for the album, and the band attempted to terminate its deal with the company, but Unicorn sued the band and the judge issued an injunction against them that barred them from releasing records on their own" - Punk Productions, page 35 "And although Biafra's protest songs employ irony and bitterness in places, they are never ironic about the possibility that music can wield political influence by binding people together around percieved problems" - Punk Productions, pg 39 Jasmine Elizabeth Davis
