As March drew to a close I hopped a bus to House of Targ for a heaping melange of thrash and punk, served up by ex-Brutal Knight Jon's new outfit, Plastic Heads, Telephone Explosion combo Cellphone, local shredders World War 4 and Nailbiters, a new local punk quartet with a bit of a Plasmatics vibe.
