{"product_id":"debris-s-t-lp","title":"Debris - S\/T LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eChickasha, Oklahoma is not a place known for producing a lot of original proto-punk bands. 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnhanced by analog synthesizers and electronic effects, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\/p\u003e","brand":"Revolver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44662691889360,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/files\/debris.jpg?v=1755279624","url":"https:\/\/www.grapefruitrecordclub.com\/products\/debris-s-t-lp","provider":"Grapefruit Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
