Flower Leperds
The Original Group
L.A. Punkers, musically they were like gothic hardcore with a bit of metal thrown in the mix. Perhaps like the bastard stepchild of The Misfits and 45 Grave. They existed in the early/mid 80s and it was around 1988 that Mystic Records collected all their recorded works onto an LP, titled The Original Group. The songs were remixed and sound a little different, though much cleaner than the versions on the 7? and compilations. While Mystic was sometimes known for cheap production values, the cover art and overall package of this release was among their best stuff, though the band was largely overlooked and didnt get the kind of attention that bands like RKL and Dr. Know did. Their song "Preacher's Confession" is a classic. Includes 10 bonus tracks (3 1st time available) from a practice tape.
