4 unusual facts about Hated in the Nation


Hated in the Nation

According to Board's liner notes for Allin's posthumous studio album Brutality and Bloodshed for All (1993), Allin arrived at the studio carrying a big bottle of Jim Beam whiskey that was already about seven-eights empty, and in a rather visibly disheveled condition from not having bathed or cut his hair in quite some time.

A band was then assembled that included Kramer on bass, Steve Dasinger from Board's own band Artless on drums, and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr on lead guitar.

#"Gimme Some Head (listed as "Gimme Some", Allin's collaboration with Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson of the MC5)

Consisting mainly of then-out-of-print recordings by Allin with his early-era backing groups The Jabbers, The Scumfucs, and the Cedar Street Sluts, Hated in the Nation became Allin's first widespread international release.
