Chop Shop - Badlands / demo / live@CBGB

Here's another NY one I compiled for your convenience from Soundclick and probably should've put up a long time ago, but oh well. Formed in '84, vocalist Joe Truck and bassist Andrew "Andy Trash" Cushen, were in goth band Scarecrow and Twelfthnight. They made a demo then with some members that would leave and be replaced, and then in '85, recorded the EP Badlands, but split up almost immediately afterward.
They got a blues-punk, swamp rock, psychobilly quality to 'em with a deathrock vibe, and should appeal to you fans of like, The Gun Club or so.

Joe Truck would play in Burning Rome, then form horror punk/deathrock Brain Eaters, and glam metaly Rocket Angel afterward. In the 90's he formed The Snake Charmers, and in late 2000's, Confederacy of Horsepower. Andrew Cullen contributed to various blues-punk bands as Hi-Sheriffs of Blue, Love in Vein, Workdogs, and Hellhounds. Both Joe and Andrew would contribute to The Naked and the Dead. Rebecca Korbet, of Even Worse, played in a number of noise-rock bands: Missing Foundation, Pussy Galore, Big Stick, and Sloth. She contributed to King Missile and The Wharton Tiers Ensemble. Steve Binedetto would play for Spineless Yesmen, The Voloptuous Horror of Karen Black, and Jad Fair. (Wow, that was a lot of links >_>;;; )
