A bass-guitar-drums trio. Review credits Barbara Ann Jaeckel (bass), Kevin Barrett (drums) and David Hull (guitar and voice). Known for raw 1983 recordings compiled as Ruins: The Complete Works of God and the State.

Ruins dated 1983, released on the Happy Squid label; original run of 1000 copies; cover printed by the IPR press. The record was described in the review as "produced in ten hours, for $200."

A three-piece band (bass, guitar, drums) whose 1983 recordings were released as Ruins: The Complete Works of God and the State. Review praises a raw, material sound blending punk, dark and wave textures. The compilation is described as stark, immediate and emotionally direct. Highly recommended by the reviewer.

For:Fans of raw punk, noise, dark/post-punk and collectors of obscure 1980s underground releases.

 "The sound is magnificently raw, material, rough, like when plaster falls from the facade of an abandoned building and the bricks are revealed; like when layers of advertising posters, at the umpteenth rainfall, peel their corners from the clandestine wall that hosts them, curling; like when your hands, after applying varnish on a wooden fence, remain streaked with a shiny-brown film for several days; like when you slash a tire by hitting the curb and still go a stretch because you don't give a damn, shredding it completely."
