This is sort of a "Live at the Roxy"(1977) for the San Francisco punk scene.
Featuring the obnoxious synth punk racket of Nervous Gender,
more offensive synth punk from Uns(featuring a young Z'ev) and Factrix (both soon to sell out
to Industrial music), and the peerless sludge punk legends Flipper.
Kinda makes you wish you were there, rather like that "Roxy" album did.
So can pay no higher compliment than that.

To get back to the californian/los Angeles Free Music Society thread, after the inexplicable reposting of two Symboter Albums; we have Brad Laners(Steaming Coils/Prostate Gland Massagers/LAFMS) early appearance as part of the infamous Nervous Gender.
The first time I posted this album I got a DCMA take down notice,then a member of the band e-mailed me telling me that it had nothing to do with any member of Nervous Gender!
So here it is in its reposted form......ladies and gentlefolk, I bring you Music from Hell:
Near perfect, unhinged minimal synth punk from the minimal synth punk
capital of the world, San Francisco. This group had a ten year old
drummer, a pre-requisite for greatness in any musical sphere. Then you
got the sublimely named Dinah Cancer guesting on one of the tracks.
I
suspect a severe Screamers influence was endemic in the formation of
this nasty little collective, which is understandable; the Screamers
being one of thee perfect Punk groups ever.
All this, coupled with the recorded live straight to cassette quality and you have a definitive Synth Punk Classic.
(Tracks B1 to B5 performed live in Traetion Gallerie May 30 1981.
The
entire contents of this album were recorded on a Toshiba RT-8200a
portable cassette recorder and a Sankyo STD-1700 cassette deck. Our
most outrageous thanks to Mr Mike Fox for his fidelity recouperation
tactics. This album was recorded and mixed in a span of 36 hours,
mistakes and all).
The band's web site helpfully points out that
Beelzebub Youth is often mistakenly identified as a separate band, but
was really only the name of the tracks on the second side
