Left For Dead Records has reissued the long-out-of-print, HIGHLY collectible sole release from ‘80s teen-punk phenoms, Brooklyn’s Nastyfacts, Drive My Car. The original sessions were recorded at Media Sound Studios in New York City in 1980 and produced by Ramona Lee Jan (Comateens, Dizzy & The Romilars, Nursery School, etc.), an engineer who’d worked at the studio with the Ramones, Brian Eno and countless others. The re-release was remastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door in Austin, TX.

Nastyfacts were fronted by bassist/lead singer/songwriter Cherl Boyze an 18 year old Queer POC with the rest of the band being in their mid-teens or younger in 1981 when their three-song, 7-inch debut, Drive My Car, was released on the New York-based, independent Jimboco label. The record was a word-of-mouth hit and sold strongly in the U.S. despite group members being too young to tour. John Peel played it repeatedly on his legendary indie-centric BBC show.
