About this album

Dawn Of The Dickies finds The Dickies sharpening their humour into one of punk’s most distinctive early statements. Released in 1979, the album follows the Los Angeles band’s debut and shows how they turned fast, concise songs, cartoonish energy and pop-savvy hooks into something both chaotic and memorably melodic. Their gleeful take on punk embraced parody without losing bite, with a version of Night in White Satin among the best-known examples of their offbeat approach. The record helped define The Dickies as a cult favourite in the late-1970s punk scene, balancing teenage frenzy with a clear sense of musical craft.
