Black Flag’s 1982 EP TV Party finds the band turning their ferocity toward satire, mocking the numbing pull of television and the dead-end rituals of boredom and drinking. Self-produced with Ed Barton and released on SST Records, the record captures the group’s caustic humour and disdain for American complacency. The title track—also appearing in an earlier version on their debut Damaged—stands as one of punk’s sharpest cultural send-ups, balancing sneering wit with the raw energy that defined the band’s early years.
