Ruthensmear
RuthenSmear is the first solo album by guitarist Pat Smear. The song "Golden Boys" was originally written by Darby Crash, but never recorded by him before his death. Vagina Dentata, a short-lived punk band that Smear was in following the death of Crash, recorded and released a version of the song on the compilation Flipside Vinyl Fanzine Vol 2, released in 1985, prior to its re-recording for this album.
