Rubber-stamped white hole sleeve. A 12” promo/test pressing released in 1979 or 1980 compiles the tracks from this EP and the Warm Moving Bodies 7”s; no pic sleeve issued.

Synth/wave band from San Francisco; two of the four songs are good mechanical/monotonous punk rock, like the Screamers they replaced the guitars with distorted synths. This works pretty well, especially on the stomping “Cannibals”, there is actually not much difference in sound to the traditional punk lineup. “High Pressure Days” sounds more like a faster version of early Human League, OK but not great, and Cowboy is a nice synth pop song.

Synth/Wave-Combo aus San Francisco. Zwei der vier Songs sind ordentlicher, mechanisch-monotoner Punkrock; wie die Screamers haben die Units die Gitarren durch verzerrte Synthis ersetzt, was auch recht gut funktioniert - vor allem auf Cannibals hört man den Unterschied zur traditionellen Punkgitarre gar nicht so sehr. High Pressure Days klingt eher nach schnellen Human League, und Cowboy ist ein netter Synthpop-Song.
