The Town Of Chickasha Oklahoma Might Seem An Unlikely Birthplace Of A Seminal Experimental Proto-Art-Punk Band Set On Pushing The Boundaries Of Rock. In The Face Of Indifference And Even Redneck Hostility And Lasting Only A Year Debris' Forged A Small Legacy With Its D.I.Y. Ethic And Improvised Playing Style. Charles Ivey And Oliver Powers Played Various Instruments In Various Bands For Several Years Before The Summer Of 1975 When They Approached Drummer Johnny Gregg For A New Band. Debris' Was Quickly Launched And By September They Had The First Of The Four Live Gigs Of Their Short Existence. Their Chaotic Performance Style And Dark Quirky Sound — Influenced By The Velvet Underground The Stooges Captain Beefheart As Well As English Glam Rock — Did Not Endear Them To Their Oklahoma City-Area Audiences. At One Such Show A Battle Of The Bands Competition Where 50 Bands Vied For A New Sound System Debris' Came In Dead Last While A Cover Band Took Home The Prize. At The Same Time They Took Advantage Of A 1 590-Dollar Promotional Package From A Sound Studio Which Provided Ten Hours Of Recording Time And A 1 000 LP Pressing. With The Lofty Ambition To "cut The Ultimate Record Of The Decade " They Recorded Material In Two Sessions In Mid-December And The Record Was Pressed Several Months Later Since Released On CD As Static Disposal With Much Bonus Material . The Band Started To Mail It Out To Various Record Labels And Rock Magazines As A Demo In Hopes Of Getting A Record Deal And To More Fully Realize Their Project. With Early Negative Reviews And No Local Support Debris' Disbanded Ahead Of Their Time And In The Wrong Place. Within A Year More Favorable Press Appeared And CBGB Even Offered Them A Gig And A Chance To Cash In On The Burgeoning New York Punk Scene But It Was Already Too Late. From Www.Allmusic.Com read less
