Though they didn't release a full-length album until several years after they broke up, the Pagans were the toughest and most energizing of Cleveland's second wave of punk bands in the late 1970s. With songs such as "Eyes of Satan" and "What's this Sh*t Called Love," the Pagans took from the exhilaratingly bad vibes of the Electric Eels and the delinquent cool of the Dead Boys (both of whom originated in Cleveland as well) and added an extra dollop of sociopathy for good measure. The Pagans, under the leadership of frontman Mike Hudson, would be an on-again/off-again entity during the 1980s, while in the ensuing decades Hudson would work with another re-formed Cleveland band, the Styrenes. He also published a memoir in the 2000s about the overlooked Cleveland underground and his time with the Pagans.
