Wild Teen-Punk From Peru 1965

Compiling the shockingly abrasive 1965 7-inch singles of an obscure Peruvian quartet, this release famously forced a historical reevaluation of punk rock's origins. Predating The Stooges and the American garage-rock boom, Los Saicos utilized violently unhinged, throat-shredding vocals and fast, distorted surf-rock structures. Featuring the legendary anthem 'Demolición', the collection proves that the raw, nihilistic spirit of punk existed in South America years before it exploded in New York and London.
