SGM released album Aggression

Originally known as SGM, the majority of the band’s members met while students at The Bush School . SGM consisted of Cole Peterson on bass, Paul Uhlir on drums, Rich Credo on guitars, Mike Lawson on vocals, and Chris Quinn on guitars. The initials were meant to convey a different name periodically, such as Shot Gun Messiah, Such Good Music, Spontaneous Generation Men, and so on. SGM had garnered acclaim as second generation punk pioneers in the Seattle scene, playing with Nirvana , The Accüsed , The Rejectors, Melvins , and more. They blended punk rock with thrash metal elements. SGM released the album Aggression in 1988. It was engineered and produced by Jack Endino . Bruce Pavitt of Sub Pop Records later described one of SGM’s demo cassettes as “Young, loud and crazy. Better than Soundgarden and Green River put together. Better than Led Zep and the Stooges even.”
