| Welcome to Break'er Records Memorabilia. Sort of an electronic scrapbook. This certainly is not an exhaustive selection. These are just a few tidbits. More to come. But first, some reviews circa. 1978 thru 1980 (painstakingly transcribed from the originals). | |
B.R. 45-105 & 106 Gregor MacKenzie & The Misanthropes "ANDREA TEEN"
"...Menacing, fun, yet vengefully sincere stupidity ... the ultimate garage band..." B.R. 45-108 Danger Roads "IT'S TIME TO BECOME ROBOTS""...a well produced bouncy electronic novelty..." B.R. 45-110 The Turnbuckles "SUPER DESTROYER MARK II""...a pretty dopey disc, but funny... even a little catchy..." B.R. 45-111 Magnetic Head Cleaners "I WANT TO FUNCTION WITH YOU""...if it's a joke, it's a bad one. If this is experimental music, it's bad science. More sci-fi and horror film noise is closer to the truth... sounds like Hal the computer making a poor come on. Shut it down..." B.R. 45-112 The Hit Squad "PICTURES OF MATCHSTICK MEN" & "THOU SHALL NOT STEAL""...The Hit Squad pumps out a throbbing rendition of the old Status Quo hit ... as a hip cover band, they carry on a Minneapolis tradition ala The Hypstrz..." B.R. 45-114 Wilma & The Wilbers "CHRONIC ALKIE" "POOR LITTLE JOEY" & "THE HOLE""...Wilma and The Wilbers prove stronger than many Punk bands on their first time out (and they are Punk) ... convincing vocalist and energetic band support..." |
