Overkill were one of the first thrash metal bands. They were formed in New Jersey when a previous D.D. Verni/Rat Skates (real names: Carlos Verni and Lee Kundrat - the stage names were tributes to favourite punk bands, the Ramones featuring Dee Dee Ramone, and the Damned, featuring Rat Scabies... Bobby Blitz was taken from The Dead Boys' Johnny Blitz!) project, a punk band called "The Lubricunts", broke up in 1980. (There's a picture of the Lubricunts demo cover in the "Wrecking Your Neck" liner notes.) D.D. quickly wanted to form a new band, so he put out an ad which was answered by vocalist Bobby Ellsworth. He was also a bass player at the time, but in the new band he would concentrate solely on vocals. He brought with him a guitarist from his old band (a punk/classic rock cover band), whose name is forgotten. After rejecting several names, including "Virgin Killer", this new band finally settled on "Overkill", naming themselves after a Motörhead album.
Overkill are my fav. Thrash band. My fav. album is Horrorscope.

I adore these guys! Although it's a little over-rated, Elimination is still a great song! My and my band have covered a couple of their stuff, like Wrecking Crew and I Hate. They've got some really good stuff.
