The MIGHY IONS are from Boston, members played cult bands as UNNATURAL AXE or the first GG ALLIN & JABBERS lineup (you remember, one of the best !) and had that wrestling rock´n´roll shtick going. The songs are from 1981/1982, this is total fun, goofy DICTATORS rock, RAMONES simplicity and the UNDERTONES pop hooks. All 15 songs are unreleased on vinyl, just the classic "Pedro Morales" got released on the "Claws" comp and was the only commercially released song in that time. The MIGHTY IONS with their unique body-slam rock´n´roll shared the stage all those Boston legends as the TAXI BOYS, LYRES, their rasslin´ contenders FOREIGN OBJECTS and many more. This is obscure (not included on any "Killed by Death" or "Bloodstains" compilation, buddy !), overlooked and in fact totally unknown outside of a handful Boston clubgoers - great garage punk, catchy as a jeans commercial on almost every one of it´s three minute romps. The record has a killer full color wrestling style artwork and it´s a 24page booklet included with rants, photos, vintage articles and flyers.
