In fact, there is, to our knowledge, only one: Debris'. Formed in 1975 by bassist Chuck Ivey, guitarist Oliver \"Rectomo\" Powers and drummer Johnny Gregg, the trio created some of the most art-damaged outsider rock 'n' roll this side of MX-80 Sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen a local studio offered the package deal of ten hours for recording and mixing as well as pressing 1,000 LPs and two-color jackets, Debris' came in well-rehearsed – nailing all eleven of their songs in just one take. In April 1976, the same month as Ramones' debut album, Debris' would release their lone record onto the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOpener \"One Way Spit\" could easily be mistaken for a lost KBD single – from Chuck's bizarre count-in to the band's trashy start-stop rhythms, unfurling a Dadaist flag around Johnny's visceral vocals. On \"Tricia,\" a reference to the then-current Patty Hearst trial, Oliver's gruesome groans are sardonically juxtaposed with an electric saw. These LSD-tinged tunes are a potent mix of Beefheart-ian controlled chaos and the genuinely weird avant-rock associated with the mid-'70s Cleveland scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnhanced by analog synthesizers and electronic effects\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e, the album sounds like Eno-era Roxy Music or Stooges' Fun House buried deep in the red Oklahoma dirt. While punk would spark a handful of bands who boldly straddled the line between the primal and the experimental, the relatively unsung Debris' were one of the first to do so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDebris' had a standing invitation to play New York at Max's Kansas City and CBGB in 1976, although they never made it out of Oklahoma. The private-press edition of their self-titled album (also known as Static Disposal, which was actually the label name printed on the original front cover) has since become a collector's item and is even namechecked on the infamous NWW list.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2025, Superior Viaduct - SV137\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Superior Viaduct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50166119366849,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1407\/4970\/files\/debris-s-t_1024x1024_4dd86f21-9402-4947-b9c8-832945f2ada6.webp?v=1777334183","url":"https:\/\/hathillrecords.com.au\/products\/debris-self-titled-vinyl-lp","provider":"Hat Hill Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
