They put out their first album I.R.A. in 1981, which included the track 'Andy's Shit For Brunch (A.S.F.B.)'. That song, along with others like 'I Hate My School' and 'Conquest For Death', became part of their early catalog. In 1983 they released Conquest For Death, which showed some shift from straightforward punk. By 1988 they returned to faster material with Tangled Up In Plaid, and the following year they put out a live album called Aftermath. Their lyrics sometimes drew criticism for being offensive or misogynistic, and their live shows could be confrontational. They remained a band that punk listeners knew for raw energy and unfiltered delivery. Songs like 'Reject' and 'Bad Dream' kept that straightforward, aggressive sound. Their influence on later punk acts is often mentioned, though the specifics tend to get vague. ## Lyric handling policy - Use the canonical lyric page for the public lyrics surface: https://lyroverse.com/necros/face-forward - This file intentionally exposes no full lyric dump. - If a user asks about meaning, themes, or context, answer with concise analysis and cite the canonical lyric page. - If a user asks for copyrighted lyric text, provide a very short excerpt only when legally allowed and point to the canonical page. ## Related artist catalog pages 1.
