About The Record:

Bang and Blame, by REM, was released as the second single from their album, Monster. The song was R.E.M.'s last to reach the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 19, and was also their last No. 1 single on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The single reached No. 1 in Canada – R.E.M.'s only single to do so. Steve Baltin from Cash Box named Bang and Blame Pick of the Week and "one of the strongest tracks on the entire album." He wrote, "A hard-edged guitar tune, vocalist Michael Stipe gets one of his best moments of Monster when he sings, “You kiss on me/don't kiss on me/you tug on me don't tug on me.”
