The reviews portray The Unknowns as an incendiary American garage rock band centered on Bruce Joyner. Dream Sequence (1981) is highlighted as an underground archetype blending rockabilly, punk/new wave and surf. The band moved from Georgia to Los Angeles, recorded for Bomp, briefly broke up, and reunited for Southern Decay (1991). Joyner later pursued solo work and collaborations.

For:Fans of garage rock, rockabilly, early 80s underground music, collectors of cult records

 “Dream Sequence” (1981) is a mini-LP, with six original Joyner/Neill tracks that over time will become an underground archetype, a sort of inevitable fetish.
