Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Razorblades came together in Los Angeles toward the end of the 1970s. Eddie Razor sang, with Johnny Spike on guitar, Jake Slammer on bass, and Jimmy Beat on drums. They had a rough, direct sound that pulled from punk and hard rock.
In 1979 they put out their first album, 'Razorblade Heaven.' The track that stuck was '25 Bucks,' a loud, catchy song about the music business. It got some radio play but also drew complaints from stations that found the lyrics too much. The band kept playing anyway, and songs like '9 To 5' and 'Ballad For The Losers' followed a similar blunt style.
They ran into the usual band troubles, arguments, some drug stuff, legal headaches. But for a few years there, they made a noise that felt urgent and a little dangerous, which is why people still dig up '25 Bucks' now and then.
