Angry Samoans are an early Los Angeles punk band, formed by rock critics "Metal" Mike Saunders and Gregg Turner after the demise of VOM, with fellow critic Richard Meltzer.
Later in the Samoans career unspecified grudges against influential KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer caused them to write a defamatory song called "Get Off the Air," which caused many Los Angeles clubs to avoid booking them until the mid 1980s. The band's particularly offensive, politically incorrect attitude and lyrical content probably contributed to this situation as well.
