RuthenSmear is the first solo album by the American musician Pat Smear.[2][3] The song "Golden Boys" was written by Darby Crash, but never recorded by him. Vagina Dentata, a short-lived punk band that Smear was in following the death of Crash, recorded and released a version of the song on the 1985 compilation Flipside Vinyl Fanzine Vol 2. Smear supported the album with a North American tour.[4]

Trouser Press said, "Showcasing instrumental skill and scenery-chewing vocal stylings, Smear flips the idiosyncratic tracks towards Redd Kross giddiness, acoustic restraint, dance thwack, experimental nonsense and whatever else comes into his studio-bound head."[1]
