Hey Migh! They sure are! They kind of slightly remind me of a cross between James Chance’s Contortions and Johnny Lydon’s PiL! I’m working on digging up even older stuff that like the Telepaths music which also had Ministry guys too which was even before the Blackouts going as far back as 75′. Supposedly it’s not available, but that’s what they said about the Screamers & other bands before and I have a feeling some label would want to get even poor quality audio recordings.
i knew of them, but i’d never heard them before… that clip was great! Young Bill Rieflin and Paul Barker lol! … cool tune as well… i’ll have to look into them some more… thanks
