The Meatmen were formed in Michigan in 1979 by Tesco Vee. In 1982, the band released the Blood Sausage 7" EP and the Crippled Children Suck 7" EP. We're The Meatmen... And You Suck! was released in 1983 as a compilation of remixed Blood Sausage tracks (side 2) and live material (side 1). In 1984, Tesco Vee broke up The Meatmen and moved to Washington, DC where he teamed up with former Minor Threat members and recorded the Dutch Hercules album as Tesco Vee And The Meatkrew. This band then became The Meatmen for several years before breaking up in 1988. Tesco has since reformed the band several other times. In 1986, Brian Baker left the band to form Dag Nasty. Lyle left the band in 1988 and went to work for Caroline Records.
