The Profile

A Cleveland proto-punk/garage band active in the early 1970s (c. 1972–1975). Noted for a very small number of chaotic, often interrupted concerts, extremely raw recordings and later compilations that preserved their influence.

Reviews and public sources note a tiny number of live shows (reviews mention six concerts), a 1978 single released by Rough Trade, posthumous compilations, and association with figures such as Morton, McMahon, Dave E. and drummer Nick Knox (later of The Cramps).

Two DeBaser reviews highlight The Electric Eels as an early Cleveland proto-punk/garage act (active 1972–1975). They emphasize raw, chaotic recordings, a handful of notorious live shows and posthumous compilations that preserved their influence. Reviewers cite specific tracks (e.g., "Cyclotron") and compare their sound to MC5, glam and Beefheart-like chaos.
