Remembered mainly for being Mighty Mighty Bosstones lead singer Dicky Barrett's first band, Impact Unit was part of the original XClaim "Boston Crew" in the early eighties. The band was formed in October of '82 by Dicky Barrett on vocals, Sam on bass, Julie on drums, and Ross Luongo on guitar. Their demo, eventually released in 1989 by Germany's Crucial Response Records (and later on CD by the Bosstones-run label Big Rig), is in the style of fellow bands such as Negative FX or DYS. It has a slightly less serious feel to it, though... hey, at least they never went metal!
