Skeemin' NoGoods Comprised of three of Detroit’s most renowned purveyors of ass-kickin’ noise, the Skeemin’ NoGoods are well versed in the art of dishing out some rock ‘n’ roll fury. Singer/guitarist John Speck (The Fags, Hoarse, The Paybacks) Drummer Chuck Burns (Speedball, Seduce)and bassist Ron Sakowski (Necros, Laughing Hyenas, Easy Action) have been showing the kids how it’s done for years. And together, as the Skeemin’ NoGoods, they have taken their collective knowledge of breakneck, chord-mashing rock and punk and forged it into a formidable 11-song platter for Idol Records and will be released on October 5th.
