Final Solution / Cloud 149

Released independently out of Cleveland, this 7-inch perfectly bridged the raw aggression of 60s garage rock with the abrasive, industrial dread of post-punk. Driven by Peter Laughner's ripping guitar work and Tom Herman's shrieking analog synthesizer noises, the track paints an intensely misanthropic view of teenage angst. It remains a legendary artifact of the Midwestern American avant-garde underground.
