Double CD reissues the debut MX-80 Sound LP, originally issued only in UK and Europe, and adds 19 unreleased demos, practice tracks and assorted oddities. MX-80 launched in Bloomington after spinning off from the Screaming Gypsy Bandits, and then relocated to San Francisco to become part of the Residents’ Ralph Records stable.
MX-80 is influential to the post-punk sounds of Sonic Youth, Pixies and others. Additionally they were the link between the Screaming Gypsy Bandits’ New York inspired pre-skronk and the Dancing Cigarettes classic new wave that took Bloomington by storm in the early 1980’s.
The post MX-80 Sound – Hard Attack CD appeared first on Irvington Vinyl.
