The Zulus - The Zulus [LP] (1985, Greenworld Records)





Zulus vocalist Larry Bangor and guitarist Rich Gilbert were founding members of Human Sexual Response, a demented post-punk group that existed from the late '70s to the early '80s. The Zulus had a louder, more straightforward rock & roll sound than Human Sexual Response; their angst-laden, guitar-heavy tunes fit well on late-'80s college radio, helping to pave the way for grunge. The Zulus were signed to Slash and released their album 'Down on the Floor' in 1989. 'Down on the Floor' was produced by Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü, one of the Zulus' obvious influences. In 1992, the band broke up. Drummer Malcolm Travis joined Mould in Sugar while Gilbert and bassist Rich Cortese formed Concussion Ensemble. [SOURCE: ALLMUSIC
