Catholic Discipline, “Underground Babylon” (Artifix, 2012; original recordings 1978-80)
Vocalist Claude Bessy was the critical/journalistic voice of early L. A. punk (look up his vintage writing on the web). His band were toward the arty/Velvets-influenced end of that scene’s musical spectrum, but their dark humor and corrosive, brutal force ranked with its fiercest and best.
Try A/2, A/5.
