A rare piece from the Wanted-List next. The Sunset Boys, a duo comprising Max Sunset (vocals/guitars) and Owen Tidy (guitars/bass/drums), were formed 1977 in Brighton where both were studying art. In late April 1978 they unsuccessfully took part in the Melody Maker-sponsored 'Rock & Folk Contest' and were described in the paper's report as a "Punk-Country" combo. Early 1979 they recorded their first EP with four tracks which was released via the independant Gimp label in an edtition of 1000 copies, housed in a picture cover which clearly tried to suggest that they were Americans. The sound is primitive, under-produced, raw-to-the-extreme-garage-noises, lo-fi, excessive, brutal and pretty amateurish. They also known as Maxims Trash and Maximum Mania and they performed throughout the early Eighties but did not release any further vinyl. Extraordinary fun record that you can't hear every day.
