Crowd Control

MX-80 Sound, “Crowd Control” (Ship to Shore, 2015; original release 1981)
Third and final LP from these guys, and their heaviest and jazziest, parallel in all the above respects to their big influence, the MC5. In fact, this album could be said to take the Five’s metal-dynamism through a dimension-warp into chrome-sheened post-new-wave-quirky disorientation.

Hard Attack

,

MX-80 Sound, “Hard Attack” (Superior Viaduct, 2012; original release 1977)
Like Pere Ubu, Midwest isolation p;roduced a sound parallel/preceding punk. Stooges/MC5-inflected hard rock shading into avant-garde structure-trickery. These guys also had a wacky smart-aleck sense of humor and an almost Beach Boys-like melodic drive.

Out Of The Tunnel

,

MX-80 Sound, “Out Of The Tunnel” (Ship To Shore; original release 1980)
Their second release finds them at their summit of brilliance. The most immaculately chrome-sheened Blue Oyster Cult hard rock drives Television-like soar-and-scrape lead-guitar-as-paintbrush cityscapes into frantic incandescent soundbursts.
