Necros was formed in mid-1979 by then-teenagers Barry Henssler (vocals), Andy Wendler (guitar), and Todd Swalla (drums). After going through a handful of bassists (including Donny Brook, Jeff Allsop, David Cooke, Brian Hyland, Jeff Lake, and Brian Pollack), Corey Rusk joined the band. Barry Henssler had struck up a friendship with Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson of Touch and Go magazine after sending them a copy of his own ‘zine, Smegma Journal . Vee and Stimson became fans and put out the band’s first record, a self-titled 4-song 7-inch EP (recorded prior to Rusk joining) most commonly known as “Sex Drive”. This was Touch and Go Records ‘ (then spelled “Rekords”) first release and was limited to only 100 copies.
