MINUTEMEN - What Makes A Man Start Fires? LP T-Shirt adrianne lenkerOriginally released in 1983, "What Makes A Man Start Fires?" is the second studio album and fifth release by the Minutemen. At almost twice the length of their previous album, "The Punch Line," the Minutemen's songs began surpassing the two minute mark. For what would be the only time on a Minutemen release, all of the lead vocals were sung exclusively by guitarist vocalist D. Boon, although bassist Mike Watt does contribute backing vocals.
