Some background is needed here.
Anyone with even a passing knowledge of the late '70's West Coast punk scene will hopefully similarly appreciate that, in my opinion, it also had the best music scene of the day. Not only did all the previously mentioned possess a truly singular and twisted musical vision that aped neither New York nor London's styles, but all were also undeniably a product of the two individualistic cities that spawned them. They came from their own universe. The Urinals are one weird band to pin down. Add to that the fact that they covered songs by the Soft Machine and the 13th Floor Elevators and you've got a strange combination.
