Inside My Brain is the debut record of one of the greatest hardcore punk bands of all time, the Angry Samoans. Rising from the ashes of VOM — a semi-serious venture including Gregg Turner and Metal Mike Saunders, both rock writers, and legendary rock critic Richard Meltzer — the Angry Samoans unleashed a torrent of hard-driving, brief, lyrically lucid songs that struck a tone both political and humorous. This synthesis of fun and anger became the foundation for an entire movement’s musical voice.
Inside My Brain helped usher in the era of hardcore punk along with such bands as Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, The Adolescents and Agent Orange.
