THE FRENCH VERSION

Metal Urbain was a anomaly in 1977. There were very few punk bands that incorporated a drum machine. I can't think of any other punk bands from back then that did. Because Metal Urbain were from France, I just figured it was a French thing. They just have to be different. But I do remember being surprised that someone managed an aggressive record with a drum machine on it.

Killed By Death just posted a record of theirs from 1977, so that's down there, along with the one that made it to a San Diego record store back then, "Paris Marquis". You really should check out their version of "Train Kept A-Rollin'". It sounds like Wire, the Cramps and Suicide sweatin' to the oldies.
