Chicago is probably best known for being hometown to such legends as The Effigies, Naked Raygun, Pegboy and Hugh Hefner. But it was also here that, in the fall of 1995, a group of overindulgent lads converged to publicly voice their hatred for "popular" boring music. More importantly, however, was their sincere love for the fast and exciting music that they had grown up with: NAKED RAYGUN, JOAN JETT, THE RAMONES, STRAY CATS, THE CLASH, BAD RELIGION and SOCIAL DISTORTION, to name a few.
Alongside a few other noteworthy bands and friends, primarily Mest, The Arrivals, and The Matics, Random55 were the standard bearers of a newer, leaner, tougher breed of suburban street punk inspired by London and L.A. punks. The band soon forged their own distinctive sound -- a souped-up hot rod with a Clash body, Social D frame, and running on hi-octane rock with a noticeable Naked Raygun additive. Early singles and tracks like Dear Near, I Don't Care and Bulletproof, introduced the band to a crowd outside Chicago and kicked the door open for the influential tour with long-time friends and mentors, Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna.
Whether touring, recording, or making an appearance, random55 go balls out! Five guys, who started out playing early punk songs in the back room of a punk-rock record shop on the south side of Chicago, have fought, kicked and scratched for every single ounce of respect and success they've ever gotten. They are the truest form of PUNK ROCK and like a good Rocky movie, random55 are heart and soul underdogs.

I can’t believe you won’t let me add a comment in HTML! I totally wanted to spam you with some dating website or at least the latest herbal Viagra. Bummer!
JK. ;)
Anyway, I just want to network, so if this is junk to you, PLEASE delete this comment. I added you as a friend because I’m out finding musicians who sell CDs at shows, but don’t want to get stuck ordering 1,000 of them in order to turn a profit per CD or just to get a decent-quality product. I produce hi-quality, lo-cost, lo-quantity CDRs for bands and musicians with those needs. Saw your profile, thought it might be a service you could use.
Here’s the raw info: http://www.shortruncdrs.com , $3.00/CD, minimum order is 10 CDs; completely retail-ready-- full-color, shrink-wrapped, etc..
I’m having a one-time-only special expiring April 30th for 25% off. Use the code m1s08 at checkout to redeem.
That’s it. I know how crappy it is to get unsolicited advertisements for junk, so I hope this isn’t junk to you. I don’t want to waste your time, so –sincerely!-- THANK YOU for your time!
