In the secret, unreleased history of early St. Louis punk rock, the Welders surely deserve a prize for most outgoing and most obscure. Composed of high school friends from Florissant, the band existed between 1975 and 1981. They were St. Louis' first and only all female band during the Punk era. Musically, the Welders combined the glam-rock its members loved with Runaways-style proto-punk. They left behind only a few fanzine articles and faded memories of their live performances. A recording session in 1979 for a planned vinyl EP never saw the light of day when the individual backing the release went bankrupt. That session has been rescued and restored from a 30 year old, rotting cassette by BDR records - releasing a 4 song 7" some three decades later.
