B Stiff

B Stiff cover art

Originally released through the British independent label Stiff Records, this essential early document compiles some of the Ohio art-punk pioneers' most unhinged foundational material. Featuring the radically deconstructed cover of the Rolling Stones' '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', it perfectly crystallized their bizarre, robotic 'de-evolution' philosophy before their major-label debut. It stands as a vital missing link between primitive punk aggression and 1980s synth-pop weirdness.
