The Underlings ‎– Centurion [12''] (1987, Midnight Music]

Who are The Underlings? No one else but The S-Haters. After a change of drummer, the band decided to change the name as well as they felt it wasn't appropriate for the music they made. But the sound is not quite different as The S-Haters records on Midnight Music, it tangles between goth rock & post punk music. 'Fatal Purpose' is the sole full length of The Underlings. Before this one, there's the 'That Little Girl' 12". The band split up for good after the album but a 12" called 'Centurion' was released as the epitaph of the band. [SOURCE: LAST.FM]

The Transmitters ‎– "24 Hours" [LP] (1978, Ebony)

 

The Transmitters were a British art rock/post-punk band active during the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. Mixing elements of punk, jazz and psychedelia, the band were critical favourites throughout their lifetime and played support slots for a wide variety of underground and mainstream bands, although this did not translate into substantial commercial success. The Transmitters are also notable for featuring future members of Loop Guru and Transglobal Underground and for sharing two members with cult pop band Furniture, as well as a guest stint by Glaxo Babies vocalist Rob Chapman. Their sound was compared to (among others) The Fall, XTC, Gang of Four, This Heat and Magazine. The band's debut single was 'Party', released on Ebony Records in 1978. This was followed in the same year by the album "24 Hours". [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]

Radio Free Europe ‎– History Of The Invisible Dog [2x7''] (1979, MiG Records)

Radio Free Europe were an Experimental and Minimal band from Austin, Texas. They released one cassette ('´79B', MiG Records, 1980), one LP, 'Laughoncue' (1980) in the UK indie new-wave and experimental label Hedonics Record, and a couple of singles: 'History Of The Invisible Dog' (1979), and 'It Likes You' (1980), both on MiG Records.

 

Members were Brian Hansen (drums, voice) -sometimes credited as Brian Damage-, Dave Maya (keyboards, saxophone, guitar, flute), Stephen Miller (guitar, keyboards), Dan Puckett (keyboards, also in The Huns), and Neil Ruttenberg (bass).

 

Neil Ruttenberg was a staple in the early Austin punk/new wave scene. He began working at pivotal record store Inner Sanctum in '74 and by '79 was doing a weekly radio show on KUT as Reverend Neil X. Having played in Neil Young cover bands in high school, it was in '78 that he changed directions while playing in the experimental band Radio Free Europe, but after 5 or 6 gigs he was let go for being "too commercial," which led to him starting his next group, F-Systems. The band incurred numerous line-up changes through their duration so they never had a definitive sound. Neil's songs would often be inspired by films as well as his love for prog rock and bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Magazine and PIL. Typically he would write the music and play bass while Lorenda Ash would come up with the words and sing the songs. After the band disbandement in 1982 Neil moved to LA to work on his true passion, film.  [SOURCE: DISCOGS]
