Gang Green

Gang Green are an American punk rock band originally from Braintree, Massachusetts. Chris Doherty (guitar), Bill Manley (bass) and Mike Dean (drums) started the band in 1980 and broke up in 1983. Doherty reformed Gang Green the following year, and the band experienced numerous lineup changes until its dissolution for the second time in 1992. Doherty has been the band's only constant member and has kept Gang Green active from 2005 onwards. The band was influential in the formation of the East Coast hardcore punk scene, and went on to become one of the forerunners of crossover thrash and speed metal in the late 1980s.

Peel seemed to have first played Gang Green in 1982 on his radio programmes and would play further material from the group until 1989. He revisited their 1986 track, 'Have Fun', on his 16 August 1990 show, as part of the Fall In August series. After his death in 2004, it was later found out that Peel had two of their albums, 'Another Wasted Night' and 'Older... Budweiser', in his Record Collection: G.
