Gov't. Issue were one of my absolute favorite DC bands ever. I remember talking to John Stabb on the phone about 84 or 85 right around when Joy Ride was released. He w,as a good guy. I never got to see them live but sure wish I would have. I wasn't the biggest fan of their later stuff, say after the album after Joy Ride, I think it was called The Fun Never Ends or something like that, was the last good album for me. The whole DC scene kinda went "emo" around 85 or 86ish. I really didn't like the pop sound that went with that stuff. But stuff like Boycott Stabb and the Make An Effort ep are classic and sound as powerful today as they did back when they came out. Killer band!!
@@handsolo1076 The guys are Brian gay, Henry Rollins, John Stabb and Ian Mackaye. I don't know why it's a thumbnail on a GI upload, but I think it's from a Dead Kennedys show with these nice lads at the place!
