Nasty Bits

Nasty Bits came out of New York City in the mid-1970s with a raw sound that fit right into the punk scene. The band was led by frontman K.G., and their live shows were known for being loud and confrontational, sometimes involving smashed instruments and rowdy crowds. They put out their debut album 'Rotten Apple' in 1978, which included the title track that became something of a punk anthem.

Their music often got them into trouble, with lyrics that used profanity and took shots at social norms, leading to some censorship and run-ins with authorities. But that uncompromising approach also built them a dedicated following among punk fans. Other songs like 'What Love Is' and 'Woman Like You' showed their range within that aggressive style.

The band's lineup included K.G. on vocals, Gene Dante and Billy Idol on guitar, Johnny Zero on bass, and Vinnie DeMichele on drums. They released a few more albums after their debut, but their time as an active group was relatively short. Still, that 1978 record and its title track stuck around in punk circles long after they were gone.
