Active from 1982 to 1985, not sure if I heard Lumpen Proles first on the Hudson Rock comp or the Live at 288 comp someone dubbed to cassette for me (still looking for a copy if any are around) but this shit is pretty cool and wasn't out of the norm for Albany in that era. Very reminiscent of Gang of Four and Theatre of Hate, this slice of post punk is definitely a band I wish had more recorded. I had heard of them reuniting in 2015 for their first show in 30 years, and I know they had played a Scumfest gig too, but somehow they remained under my radar until someone told me "yes they are THAT band from those comps" and I was promptly bummed on missing out. Give it a listen, it's dark and gloomy.
Tracklist:
- She Wasn't Home
- Positive Thinking
