Epicycle-Teenage Suicide



A bunch of young kids (15 to 18 years old) from Chicago released an album and three great singles on their own label Cirkle records between 1979-81.

This is what the terminal boredom nerds had to say about it:
Probably the first essential Rave-Up reish since the Penetrators' "Kings of Basement Rock" LP. Late '70s Chicago masters of hard pop/punk/r'n'r come out blazing with the comped "You're Not Gonna Get It" and parlay it into a number of even better tunes, most notably the Damned-soaked "Underground" and the epic/anthemic "Hardcore Punk." "Radical Attitude," aside from boasting one of the greatest song titles ever, mines Boys-ish balladry and features Andew Ellis Clark's proclamation that he is, ahem, a "niggerwhitehonkeyjew, all wrapped in one." Retarded.
For fans of KBD/Bloodstains type shit.
