King, the band’s original singer/guitarist, and his pals adopted the dark themes that hung over the earliest ‘Mones material and twisted them into absolutely sick, speedy hardcore blasts. The Ramones wanted to sniff glue; the Queers announced “We’d Have a Riot Doing Heroin.” The Ramones wanted to whack kids

Minuteflag was a “jam-band” project between members of Black Flag and Minutemen. There isn’t much info on this release out there in internet punk-rock-nerd-blog land. It seems like a bunch of friends on the same label (SST) just wanted to get together and drink some beers and record whatever transpired.
