***CHILD ABUSE recorded three demos in Los Angeles in 1977. This band was a pre-SIMPLETONES (of "I Like Drugs" Posh Boy fame) band with almost identical members including JAY LANSFORD, who went on to also be in the STEPMOTHERS, CHANNEL THREE, and GIGANTOR. These three songs were only released in 2005 on a limited 12" out of Germany and now all three demo tracks have been remastered for this 7-inch 45rpm! Includes an insert with reminisces of the band including the time Darby Crash (Gerns) stole their bass amp from the Canterbury apartments.

*** How do CHILD ABUSE induce complete aural convulsion in their audience and, at the same time, drench them in their own metaphorical Gurdjieffian "I" vomit. By combining the heavy machine-gun spurts of atonal tech-metal with confusing, off-time blurps and murps, Residents-style hump-funk, aspects of wildly enthusiastic children's music, and growls and howls of 1973 mud improvisations with the spirits of Drumbo and Carl Nielson hovering ominously overhead. That's how. Think a Sonic Pig Destroyer. SHOPWORN COPIES.
