about

Mr. Science was a linchpin of the Indiana punk scene in the late 1970s and early '80s. He was the DIY engineer at Zounds Studios in West Lafayette -- where he recorded some of the state's classic punk/art records: Amoebas In Chaos' On To Mayday LP, The Jetsons' "Suicidal Tendencies" 7-inch, the Dancing Cigarettes EP, Dow Jones and the Industrials' Hoosier Hysteria, and more.

As a member of Dow Jones and the Industrials, Science added a mass of bleeping, lurching technology to the roaring punk anthems and penned the crazed "Damage" and "Latent Psychosis" tunes.

But before all that, in 1978, Science -- also known as Brad Garton -- began writing twisted new/no wave songs on keyboards, Moog, Orchestron, organ, synthesizer and other newfangled instruments of the day. He recorded them on a TEAC A-2340 reel-to-reel.

This EP compiles five songs that survived from that era -- four unreleased until now and available for the first time since their recording nearly 40 years ago.

Awesome minimalistic garage punk that kinda sound like if Dead Moon and Pavement were a band, which is actually quite unique and oddly catchy (A cheap Casio-Cramps meets The Fall?). Can Australia do wrong in the last five years? Sure doesn't see like it. brantly

I second the statement of this being one of my favourite EPs ever. Kel is unbelievable and I can safely say they kick ass live too, with Kel and some super talented friends in tow. joyisresistance

Great comp, 360% stupid fun from front to butt. But it's the seat-ripping Girls at Our Best cover I need on endless repeat (not to slight DD Owen, B Kipper, C Shaft, A Doom, P Lino, etc). contendo
