Per available reviews, AK-47 is presented as a Houston-linked punk group that released the single 'The Badge Means You Suck' around 1980, then largely disappeared from circulation after a few local appearances.

From the review: the single names victims of Houston police violence (including Milton Glover), was originally released circa 1980, and was reportedly reissued forty years later with proceeds going to a legal organization committed to racial justice. The review also describes a legal case framed as a one-million-dollar bounty associated with the band's record. No further verifiable biographical details are provided in the reviews.

A single-review account of AK-47, described as a punk act linked to Houston and a 1980 single titled 'The Badge Means You Suck'. The review frames the record as a protest piece about police violence and names Milton Glover among those memorialized on the cover. The band's activity is described as brief: a single release and fleeting local appearances before disappearing from circulation. The single was reportedly reissued decades later with proceeds to a racial-justice legal organization.

For:Fans of punk and readers interested in protest music, police violence, and racial-justice themes.

 They should be a punk band from Houston, Texas, because they tell a story that happened in Houston and more or less sound like a punk band.
