The Detonators

I believe The Detonators originated in California but later moved to Eugene, Oregon. They were around more in the later 80s and to my mind were one of the best groups about at that time but I guess by missing the classic early 80s Hardcore era they don’t seem to be as well known as I think they should be.

Here are their first and third albums from 1983 and 1988. I don’t have the second album – Just Another Reason from 1985 – but would love to get a copy if anyone can help me out.
