Touch and Go

Touch And Go Records was started in Lansing, Michigan, by Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson in 1981 as an outgrowth of Touch And Go Zine, a fanzine the duo published. Their intent was to document their local hardcore punk scene.

Necros bassist Corey Rusk hooked up with Tesco to help run the label soon after it started and assumed full control after Vee moved to Washington, DC, in 1983. In 1987, Rusk moved the label to Chicago, Illinois, where the label still resides.

Over the years, Touch And Go has issued records by influential bands like *The Jesus Lizard*, *Slint*, *Shellac*, and *Big Black*. However, in 2008, Rusk announced that the label would be cutting back on its activity and ending its distribution services due to the economic climate of the times.

'stud powercock' contains the 'we're the meatmen and 'you suck!' lp, 'the crippled children suck' and 'dutch hercules' eps, and tracks from the 'process of elimination' compilation, the 'blud sausage' ep, and various demos, live recordings, and outtakes. stupid and obnoxious rules, okay? michigan's meatmen followed in the great tradition of the circle jerks and were the moronic, offensive, blasphemous, and hilarious face of early-'80s punk. 'stud powercock' brings together all of the band's original eps, along with demos, live tracks, and a handful of out-takes, including the jolson-esque demolition of sly stone's 'dance with the music.' here you'll find the meatmen anthem 'crippled children suck' as well as a sensitive response to the murder of john lennon, '1 down 3 to go.' while their music may not appeal to every listener, the meatmen are so over-the-top that it's hard not to laugh. on touch and go.
