Beer Nuts, The - T.B.N. (CD)

Formed as The Juvenile Delinquents around 1982. Soon after Ric Clayton (No Mercy (3)) came up with the name The Beer Nuts. The band was influenced by Neighborhood Watch (2) and Entropy (15) from WLA, Suicidal Tendencies and No Mercy from Venice, as well as No Reaction and Cycotic Youth from Santa Monica. They were all part of The punk scene of The Westside and often the bands would play together. The Beer Nuts played mostly parties and recorded their first demo with Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Jon Nelson (2) around 1986. They played together for the last time in 1999. In 2014 founding member Sean Taylor (10) passed away due to heart problems.
