THE REVIEW
Rudimentary Peni are a group of crazy clowns and probably quite deficient too (absolute deficit of good manners primarily) but evidently, when it comes to making chaotic music, all these things take a back seat, in fact, they become their greatest strengths.
Oh yes... those of us who eat Rock for breakfast know well how important it is for a good "artist" to be full of flaws on the human side (far be it from me to generalize), we know that four English baronets can fill all the covers or the charts (God, what a cool word, ch ch chartsss) they want, but for us who find enjoyment in the clanging of bass and guitar, they will always and only be a pain in the ass.
Maybe in the 80s, after the demise of the sex pistols, the queen thought she could be a bit more at ease "it's '86 now, the young troublemakers of order must have tired of following the Punk philosophy, the youngsters, you know, sooner or later they give up, lacking tenacity and perseverance, you know, sooner or later they all give up".
Well, dear Elizabeth... fuck you, in '86 on the streets of London there were still (and still are) people like Nick Blinko (guitar), Grant Matthews (bass), Jon Greville (drums), people who were like the back row companion who would sling well-sharpened pencils at the teacher's face, who were like those who burp in the cafeteria and fart on the bus, people who when they pound the drums think of your face!
People who made a breathtaking album, 30 intense, very short songs, minimal in their unfolding, never sung, always croaked and vomited without respect for anything or anyone, with a rhythm section to die for, overall quite clean for the genre, always shot at supersonic speed, with a nod to Misfits' horror-trash and with a whole catalog of humanly emittable sounds and voices.
"The Horrors In The Museum", "Architectonic And Dominant", "The Evil Clergyman" (scary!), "Crazed Coupled", "Dream City" (sung with a fantastic German accent), "Imps Of The Perverse", "Memento Mori", this is the cream of the worst cappuccino you can drink... hopefully in the company of beasts like these three!
Idiots!

Rudimentary Peni
English anarcho‑punk trio formed in 1980 featuring Nick Blinko (vocals, guitar, lyricist and visual artist), Grant Matthews (bass), and Jon Greville (drums). Revered for the visceral Death Church (1983), the feral Cacophony, and the obsessive concept album Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric (1995).04 Reviews
