Idle Threat by The Skabbs

THE SKABBS - Idle Threat: Amazing, Unearthed, Previously Unreleased Punk/New Wave circa 1977-78

A collection of never before issued recordings from 1977-78 Lawndale, California punks, The Skabbs. In tandem with the birth of punk, these music obsessed nerds, bored and listless at the end of the 70’s, became disenchanted with the increasingly plastic tendencies of modern music. The Skabbs concocted some truly outsider sounds, melding jagged Devo-esque rhythms with lightning-fast technical touches that predicted the Minutemen by a few years. LP/CD on Jackpot Records with cassette courtesy of Burger.
