Los Angeles punk band celebrated for late-1970s singles and an influential early EP; reviewers highlight the singles "Destroy All Music" and "We Got The Neutron Bomb" and John Denney's deep, powerful voice. The band broke up in 1981 and later reformed sporadically, issuing the 1988 album Condor.

Originated in the Los Angeles punk scene; notable early singles and EPs collected in Weird World compilations; considered less commercially known than some contemporaries but influential in the LA late-70s punk wave.

DeBaser's review praises The Weirdos as a key late-1970s Los Angeles punk band, highlighting the singles "Destroy All Music" and "We Got The Neutron Bomb" and the EP "Who? What? When? Where? Why?". John Denney's deep, powerful voice is singled out. The band split in 1981, reformed sporadically and recorded the 1988 album Condor, considered dispensable by the reviewer.

For:Fans of 1970s punk, collectors of LA punk releases, readers interested in classic punk singles and EPs.

 In Los Angeles of 1977, a dirty, degraded, and dangerous city, punk found the perfect ground to thrive with bands like the Germs, X, and the fantastic, but less known, at least today, Weirdos.
