You Make It So Hard On Me

Protagonists -- Hard On Me (You Make It So)

Just an incredible 1985 US DIY KBD punk single from the Midwest (Naperville IL) that's criminally unknown today. It doesn't appear to be comped anywhere, and aside from it being played once on WFMU there's not much at all online about this record or this band.

This one is a keeper. Catchy as hell but hard-edged, with a nice raw guitar sound, nasal vocals, and great shouted choruses. A rough Midwest punk sound, but really this single sounds more like classic Aussie KBD punk like Fun Things, Leftovers, Psycho Surgeons, News, Babeez, etc.
