Can’t Stand the Midwest

Dow Jones And The Industrialists, “Can’t Stand the Midwest” (Family Vineyard, 2016; original recordings 1979-1981)
These guys got together in college, at Purdue, in East Lafayette, Ind., and this is absolutely classic Midwest avant-garage rock and roll, as catchy, driving and hard-edged as Cheap Trick but with an Ubu-esque command of weird post-industrial discord-effects and a snotty/dystopian view of the straight world that outdoes Devo.
