MDC - Millions of Dead Cops

World’s Appreciated Kitsch presents: M.D.C. (hardcore/punk since 1981, USA) In 1981, Dave Dictor, Al Schvitz, Mikey Offender Donaldson, and “x-con ron” Posner put out their first two-song single 7” as The Stains. Shortly afterwards, they were duly christened Millions of Dead Cops by Buxf Parrot, the hardcore bass player of The Dicks. And the rest, as they say, is history… M.D.C. is a musical and political organization always striving to make intelligent, powerful, political statements that scream loudly against political insanity and social malignancy, addressing oppression and the human condition. Their originality challenges and often rivals, with their distinctly blunt and radical views, some of the most iconic bands of the past-and-present punk scene often littered with meaningless personal topical babble. M.D.C. undoubtedly influenced many bands of today, evident in many modern anti-government and anti-oppression oriented groups, as early American Punk folklore blazoned its course through the past 44 years. M.D.C. was on the cover of the FIRST issue of Maximum Rock’n’Roll, which also includes a band interview. They have had major articles in Playboy, Spin, Sounds, and interviews far too numerous to count in local papers and fanzines across the globe. As an integral part of early American Punk folklore, it is not surprising to find references to M.D.C. in the annals of punk history and beyond the boundaries of mainstream music culture–their honorable mention in the alternative duo They Might Be Giants’ song “Rhythm Section Want Ad” and the “Millions of Dead Cops” album ranking #7 on Kurt Cobain’s all-time favorite list are two interesting examples.
