Reviews
Bomp!
March 1979[3]
But check out the Crayola disc, it's not from the reissued album, but rather a new recording done by Mayo Thompson in the UK, backed by various local and NY punks. As one of the last functioning survivors of '60s avant-garde punk, he's managed to plug right into the current trends--this sounds a lot like Devo--and he's got all it takes to become a leader in '80s much. Good one, Radar.
