I'm listening to The Didjits right now, and they flat out rule. So I decided to make this.

If you don't know, Touch & Go is a record label formed in the early 80s (possibly late late 70s?). Anyway, originally it was used to release early Midwest hardcore albums by bands such as The Meatmen, Negative Approach, and The Necros. They went on to release stuff by great bands like Big Black, Shellac, Slint, Naked Raygun, Butthole Surfers, Scratch Acid, Big Boys, Killdozer, The Jesus Lizard and many many more. There's some more bands I've not heard, but I'm trying to get as much of the label's output as possible in the future.

the full list of bands who hav been on Touch & Go can be found here:

You may be aware of the recent Touch & Go 25th anniversary show, featuring most of the labels most important bands, including reunions by The Didjits, Negative Approach, Scratch Acid and Big Black (!). Oh how I'd love to have been there

finally, here's that album by The Didjits. It's called Hornet Pinata, and if you like fun, quirky punk rock then give it a listen.
