...formed in 77 and after a single on the magnificent dangerhouse label they signed to slash records and put out this fantastic LP...one of the finest combos out of the cali punk explosion of the late seventies when styles of noise weren't yet codified, they managed to sound unlike most of their peers even though they had plenty of buzzing guitars because the tunes had words that told vignettes of modern urban existance, not just sloganeerin and cheering for 'our side'...because ray manzarek produced the wax a lot of old school earth shoe hippy critics desperate to get a handle on the punk revolution claimed them as the new wave to take yanquee music forward into the next decade...unfortunately being lauded by rolling stone and other organs of reactionary propaganda backfired and the original followers fell away because they saw the combo being co-opted by the enemy(old squares who cared nothing for the music, only their standing as being on the ball with the latest trends)...the later waxings though of interest never told of a time and place like this one, never captured the feelin of urgency so necessary for the songs to fire on all cylinders...included here are demos for the first single and the title track in its dangerhouse version which originally appeared on 'YES LA' and other good grooves from long ago when rock'n'roll still was important...
...get it here...
