The Minutemen – What Makes a Man Start Fires

What Makes a Man Start Fires is a vinyl record by the American punk band The Minutemen. Known for their influential role in the early 1980s punk and hardcore scenes, the Minutemen combined elements of rock and alternative styles with concise, politically charged songwriting. This album reflects the band's continued output during a prolific period that included releases like The Punch Line and Double Nickels on the Dime. While the original release year is unspecified, this edition is a new pressing and comes sealed in its original shrink wrap. The Minutemen's work is notable for its DIY ethos and their connection to the independent label SST Records, which helped shape underground punk music in California. This pressing offers a fresh opportunity to experience the band's distinctive sound, characterized by tight musicianship and sharp lyrical content.
