Death of Samantha, circa 1986
Hey, it’s finally out! The brand new issue #49 of the great, lost-boss music mag, Ugly Things is here -- and this one features my massive missive on 1980s Cleveland glam punks, Death of Samantha!
I’m really happy to finally get the full story of one of my favorite (and criminally underrated) bands out there, adding in some mid-80s Cleveland atmosphere for yooz. Ugly Things is print-only, so bother your local rack jobber to order some, or get one (or 10) here: http://webstore.ugly-things.com/ugly-things-49-p406.php
It makes a great gift for that young cousin who already knows who the Pagans are!
