Breeders – Zen Punk

This is the original Breeders, formed in Champaign, IL, in the early-eighties. They released a 7″ EP titled ‘Zen Punk’ and an eight song cassette titled ‘Things Happen.’ This is a little hidden gem of Midwestern punk. Three songs, remastered for the occasion. A side is an elaborate song between punk rock and no wave, that brings in mind bands like Gang of Four, Contortions, Wire… On the flip side, two miniatures on the verge of hardcore. Think early Hüsker Dü, Minor Threat and White Cross. Comes with the original artwork and a sticker!
