Formed in 1980, The EFFIGIES along with NAKED RAYGUN defined the early Chicago punk sound and scene. They released a string of acclaimed EPs and LPs before disbanding in the late 80s. Resurfacing a few times over the years, the band had just finished recording a new album when singer John Kezdy died in an accident in the summer of 2023.
In 2024 The Effigies are releasing John’s final album “Burned” as well as a 40th anniversary edition of the seminal album “For Ever Grounded” from 1984.
“Effigies were the first great band from Chicago’s scene. Not overstating to say that without John and the Effigies, I would never have made any records.” -Steve Albini (Aug 2023)
“With “For Ever Grounded” in 1984, the Effigies made an album for the ages, a foundational document in the Chicago sound that transformed the city’s music scene.” -Greg Kot SOUND
