I recently discovered The Snake Corps, a late eighties/early nineties post-punk group very similar to The Chameleons, with a more dream-pop feel to the music rather than the conventional up-beat rock bands of the era. The slower, melody driven track featured here Everything Turns Blue is off their 1990 album Smother Earth.
In 1981 at the height of the slasher genre, Troma released their own attempt at cashing in on its popularity. The movie contains many long and pointless scenes, one of which is the high school dance. House band Felony provides this 7 minute track Gangster Rock. It helps to see their cheesy, eyeliner wearing faces but simply hearing the lead singer's strained voice is just as good. The audio was recorded direct from the dvd, so you get an extra bonus of some dialog and sound effects mixed in.
This 1980 horror film has an amazing soundtrack produced by Fabio Frizzi. Reminiscent of fellow Italian prog rockers Goblin (lots of 80's synths on top of 70's funk-inspired drums). Check the film out for the infamous girl-vomiting-blood-and-organs scene.
