Before Jeff "Monoman" Connolly formed Boston's seminal garage rock terrorists <a href="spotify:artist:5b0wQCgdlG1Dk4N67lguml">the Lyres</a>, he was in a late-'70s prototype known as DMZ. With the exception of a few musicians, DMZ and <a href="spotify:artist:5b0wQCgdlG1Dk4N67lguml">the Lyres</a> were essentially same-sounding bands; DMZ just played with a little more speed and punk verve. Oddly enough, during the late-'70s signing frenzy of any band even remotely associated with the punk scenes in Boston and New York City, DMZ got a shot with Sire Records. The label, exhibiting near-total artistic myopia, teamed the band up with goofball has-beens <a href="spotify:artist:5lcsLQAbcbmTZ7DXy2dYbK">Flo and Eddie</a> as producers. While the resulting record was panned, it's far from a disaster, due mainly to DMZ's ferocity and trashy ebullience. Fans of mid-'60s rock such as <a href="spotify:artist:5mcarhiatlvfCghqcn73rC">the Seeds</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3ZZHB1Xh2PM88QTMiqHB62">? and the Mysterians</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1SQRv42e4PjEYfPhS0Tk9E">the Kinks</a>, and who have an unending jones for speedy trash-rock and whiny Farfisa organs, will love DMZ. ~ John Dougan, Rovi
