but really, who doesn't like The Homosexuals?


ah, The Homosexuals. formed originally in 1972, these crazy cats took many cues from garage, surf, glam, and punk rock to create an angular and "arty" sound that went on to influence many a band out there. their sound was fresh and unique for their time period, but by today's standards these songs would sound pretty formula. there's a reason for that: they created the formula. with most songs clocking in around a minute and a half and with ridiculous esoteric lyrics, they were loved by the new-wave and punk crowds alike.

they were also pretty well known for their insane amounts of side-projects and spin off bands, probably about 25 bands in the late 70's and early 80's could be said to have a member of the Homosexuals in their ranks.

this is their collection cd of their lp and a few eps released in 2004 by recommended entitled "The Homosexuals CD." one of my all time favorite songs, "Kiss With Venom," should be put on repeat for a while after you download it.

won't you fall in love with a Homosexual?
