The Offs | First Record | Album

The Offs’ First Record (1984) is a landmark release of the San Francisco punk era, blending frantic post-punk energy with dub reggae and ska influences. While the band’s sharp, rhythm-driven music earned them a dedicated underground following, the album is historically famous for its iconic cover art.

The Offs First Record LP features cover art by NYC based artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The artist was also quite active on the NYC underground music scene in the early 1980's.
