"The Dicks Hate the Police" (usually shortened to "Hate the Police") is the debut release and 7-inch single from the American hardcore punk band The Dicks, released in 1980.[1][2][3] The record was released on the band's own Radical Records imprint.[4] Mudhoney included a cover of the song on Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles.[5]
Critical reception
Pitchfork wrote that "the song contained few words and fewer chords, and yet, with an arch sneer, the singer—Gary Floyd, a genuine punk hero deserving of recognition beyond the underground—communicated the essence of state power deployed in its most wretched everyday form."[6] The A.V. Club called it a "classic," writing that "even removed from its historical and geographical contexts 'Hate The Police' remains a powerful song."[5] The Dallas Observer called it "perhaps the finest single ever released by a Texas punk band."[7]
