A spartan Los Angeles punk band formed in 1978 at UCLA, known for minimal, lo‑fi recordings and short, influential tracks collected on a 1996 Amphetamine Reptile anthology.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1978, the Urinals recorded a small number of influential EPs and tracks such as "Hologram", "Ack Ack Ack Ack", "I'm a bug" and "Sex/Go Away Girl"; material was compiled on the 1996 Amphetamine Reptile anthology. Members later recorded under the name 100 Flowers.

A DeBaser review by supersoul celebrates the Urinals' spartan, lo‑fi punk and no‑wave immediacy. The band began at UCLA in 1978 and left a handful of essential tracks compiled in a 1996 anthology on Amphetamine Reptile. The review highlights songs like "Hologram", "Ack Ack Ack Ack" and "Sex/Go Away Girl".

For:Fans of early American punk, lo‑fi/no‑wave music, and post‑punk collectors

 Of course, calling themselves "urinals" means declaring themselves losers right from the start, which began in 1978 as a quintet in the UCLA dormitory and soon realized that in the post-punk frenzy of the City of Angels, going nowhere with five members.
