Electric Eels: Cleveland, Ohio.
The first punk band, full stop. They may not have started it, but they were first. Their harsh visual aesthetic, Dave E.'s caustic vocals, the embrace of violence, preference for songs about hating people and loving car wrecks, primitive and brutal guitar (no bass, but an occasional lawnmower or vacuum was welcome), clothes festooned with rat traps or safety pins ... the eels did it all '73-'75.
When Scat released "The Eyeball of Hell" in 2001, that cleared the archive of unreleased material and put things to rights, like including the original 45 version of "Agitated" absent from all previous comps. This time around, we've gathered all the best tracks/versions from all previous comps of the last 35 years, and sequenced it in classic double album style for maximum flow between tracks while giving each side it's own personality.
