Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Undeclinables formed in Los Angeles in the late 1970s with Paul Roessler on vocals and guitar, Chris Lager on bass, and David Matheny on drums. They put out records like 'Undeclinables' in 1979, 'Diet for Worms' in 1981, and 'Red White and Blue' in 1982. Their song 'L.A.P.D.' became a kind of rallying point for some listeners.
Their lyrics tended to challenge authority and poke at social issues, which sometimes got them into trouble with the police at shows. They weren't trying to make everyone comfortable. The band played a raw, straightforward style of punk rock that fit the time and place.
They recorded a live album at Dante's in 1983. After that, the group eventually stopped playing together. For a while in the early 80s, they were part of that L.A. punk scene, making music that was direct and unpolished.
