Early 1980's Cleveland Pop / Punk combo. The name was inspired by the
beer called "Beer."
"Fire and Rain," (written by James Taylor of course) was performed on one of the rare occasions the Generics left their basement and played for a few people at a suburban house party. Tom Hamilton - bass. Tom Hawk - guitar and lead vocals. Mark Vocca - guitar and vocals. Bob Richey - drums. That vintage sound courtesy of a stereo cassette deck and a couple of cheap mics.

Welcome! This is free download music site. In the 1980's and 1990's I (Tom) played in the Cleveland, Ohio bands The Offbeats, Starvation Army, Agitated, Children's Crusade, Swank Motel, Buddy Love Combo, Dumbshits and others. In 1999 I left Cleveland for Seattle, WA, where I lived for 5 years. From 2004-2012 I lived in Pittsburgh, PA with my wife Denise. In December 2012 we moved to Cleveland Heights, Ohio where we currently reside. I no longer play in bands, but still occasionally write and record songs, playing all the instruments myself. Some are posted on this blog; others no one has heard except myself.
