Fallow Fields: Victim's Family, band from California since 1984

NOTE: GIVE THIS PAGE A MINUTE TO LOAD BEFORE TRYING TO SCROLL.

Found this band, Victims Family, on YouTube searching for B. Kliban info. They named their band after one of his cartoons.

According to the Wiki:

"Victims Family is a hardcore punk band formed in 1984 in Santa Rosa, California by bassist Larry Boothroyd and guitarist and vocalist Ralph Spight. Drummer Devon VrMeer completed the trio. Their sound blended punk, heavy metal and jazz, making them difficult to categorize into a single genre."

Reminds me a little of Time Toy from Athens. More live on YouTube.

Worth listening to the samples from the albums on Amazon - lots of songs, roughly $10 per album, seven albums available.

Many more albums on their website.

Playlist at the bottom. It's worth skipping through this compilation if one song doesn't resonate - much variety in tempo and texture.
