Really cool reissue of this early 80's synth driven death rock from the L.A. artist known as JIMMY SMACK. The music is minimal, kind of like SUICIDE but the lyrics are heavy & depressing, sort of like CHRISTIAN DEATH. His stage persona was sort of like a mix of Lux Interior & Glenn Danzig. If you're even remotely interested in death rock, goth, darker minimal synth stuff, CRAMPS, MISFITS, SUICIDES, early HUMAN LEAGUE, CHRISTIAN DEATH etc... then you need this!

OUT OF PRINT

You wouldn't think it from hearing the band name or looking at the cover but this 1986 album by the Michigan band JIM JONES & THE KOOL-ADE KIDS is fantastic example of 80s crossover metal. They started out as a punk band but veered harder into metallic territory here. Great songs & playing that will appeal to fans of crossover legends like Corrision of Conformity, D.R.I. & VENOM, CELTIC FROST & even later DARKTHRONE at times. RECOMMENDED.
