Please excuse me as I attempt to post four times today again…<\/p>\n

Here’s an extra rare full length LP from 1983 by The Minx, a US-based post-punk\/new wave hybrid band from Southern California, I believe.<\/p>\n

There once existed another band with a similar name from the same general area who called themselves The Real Minx, perhaps as a reaction to this band and LP (confusing!). This is not<\/strong> that band however, but instead is a similarly four-piece, female-fronted band who plays rickety guitar wave with some chirpy organs in tow. Their first single was a little more caustic, along the lines of Action Pact! or early Fuzzbox, while the LP softens the edges a little bit and includes a re-recorded version of b-side “Prisoner.” Some touchstones for the LP include Young Marble Giants\/Weekend, The B-52s, Fall of Saigon, Suburban Lawns, and so on.<\/p>\n

I love this LP, even if it falls a little outside of my usual fare. Hope y’all enjoy it, too.<\/p>\n
