The Mad - "We Love Noize!" CD 1999

O.G. ('78) KBD horror-artpunk fronted by makeup f/x guru Screaming Mad George. Grand Guignol live shows, twangy energetic distortion, sizzly synchronizing drums, enthusiastic doodly bass, frenetic screeching sax, and George's meltdown shrieks jam-kick your brain with memories that punk started as a vehicle for the rawest artistic passions (no matter how esoteric) and not a default genre for extreme agendas. Refreshing isn't a strong enough word when listening to The Mad these post-hate days, so I'm honestly hoping they provide your own mind with an ultra deep douching as well. Absolutely everything the band ever studio recorded, and the CBGB's live show too!
