The Dicks were a punk rock band formed in Austin, Texas in 1980. Led by the confrontational stage presence of *Gary Floyd*, the band gained notoriety for their raucous music and fearless performances. In 1983, they relocated to San Francisco but soon returned to Austin with a new lineup. After releasing one LP, the band disbanded in 1986. However, in recent years, *Floyd*, *Buxf Parrot*, and *Pat Deason* have reunited for special shows around Austin. Although there are no plans for a full-time reunion, their impact on punk rock is undeniable.

Beloved first LP. If you aren't familiar with Kill From the Heart, then you need to be aware of this bona-fide classic of Reagan-era punk—a record that inspired many of the artists that inspired you. This very important document has been remastered with love by Jello Biafra.

Dicks' debut LP has been acknowledged as a foundational statement in Punk ever since its initial 1983 release. Following their first single, 1980's "Dicks Hate The Police," and a live split with fellow Austinites the Big Boys, Kill From The Heart does not disappoint.

Originally released on SST, the album stands apart from the mass of generic thrash-hardcore contemporaries – fueled by the manic, but controlled power of singer&nbsp;Gary Floydalong with the original lineup of guitarist&nbsp;Glen Taylor, bassist&nbsp;Buxf Parrot&nbsp;and drummer&nbsp;Pat Deason.
