Once upon a time, The Screamers were one of the biggest acts on the L.A. Punk scene.  Notice that they’re just playing drums and keyboards, and take a moment to think how rare it is you see a Punk band that isn’t playing guitar-based Rock music.  The Screamers were unconventional to say the least. They never released an official recording—all we have are bootlegs like this one, In A Better World—but for a while they insisted their proposed debut album would be released only in video form.  Bear in mind, this was in the days before MTV, and the only other band that was proposing such an advancement at that time was Devo.  And there are still rumors floating around that The Screamers did, in fact, record a conventional album, but they shelved the tapes and never released it.  If those rumors are true, then somebody call Indiana Jones, because those tapes are the Lost Grail of L.A. Punk.
