Discography
Fizzjob
Bam Bam Records 1987 (re-released on Touch and Go Records 1989)
Purveyors of revved-up, tastelessly funny trash-punk, the Didjits were an atypically straightforward part of the Touch & Go stable, as well as an utterly manic live band.
Most Didjits albums were virtual catalogs of rock & roll sleaze and vice -- sex, booze, drugs, violence, death, Satan, and the like -- all rolled into a smart-alecky, Midwestern white-trash act.
The Didjits were formed in Champaign-Urbana -- home of the University of Illinois -- in 1985 by brothers Rick (guitar/vocals) and Brad Sims (drums).
