The Screamers - Synthesizer Punk Rock
There is an intersting thread going on AH titled, "Best punk use of synth." A number of bands were called out, some of which were questioned as far as whether or not they were punk in the classic sense of punk. Well, the Screamers definitely were classic punk. They had a small stint in the late 70s in Los Angeles. They were a four piece band with Tomata Du Plenty - Vocals (R.I.P.), Tommy Gear - ARP Odyssey, David Braun - Fender Rhodes electric piano, and KK Barett - Drums. The Screamers were a band from 1977 - 1981. Notice no guitar or bass guitar, just the ARP Odyssey, Fender Rhodes and drums. Title link takes you to the Screamers page on http://www.punkrockers.com with some audio links (just above the pictures). Listen to them. What's crazy is that there are no guitars - this is not a bleepy synth experience, this is classic punk rock.
