3. It's Mekons.....
Can't say I know too much about them. They are one of the few punk bands of that era and location that eluded me. I've heard really good things about them I just have not heard any of their actual music.

John Langford is the name of the guy who sings and leads the band if I'm not mistaken. Their recent albums have been released on Quarter Stick records, a subsidiary of Touch and Go out of Chicago.

That's about all I know.
