Debut from 1976, at the tail end of pub rock and the beginning of punk. The band were true outsiders, and helped pave the way for The Damned and The Clash.
Groundbreaking. Chainsawing. Car bombing. Culture shocking. The Plasmatics flew in the face of convention. Great information thrown together like a scrapbook.
Styx’s pomp, prog, and hard rockin’ lends itself to the orchestral treatment. 115 in the orchestra, 56 in the choir: This is a big, loud celebration of rock.

In nine years (two full-lengths, an EP, and several singles), this quartet took hardcore to the next level. 061502 presents the last show in the band’s career.

Clarinet, glockenspiel, mellotron, Moog, saxophone, and theramin with the energy and tact to float notes, melodies, and jazz time-keeping, without hollering.
