Thanks for filing all my requests! Here's another rarity by a guy named Frank Kinsel:

Was wondering if you might have this:

I have no idea what it's like, but, hey, the dude says it's "something special."

Have a vague repost request but i'll be as descriptive as possible given the uniqueness of what i'm looking for. I had a compilation i made of various downloads and i'm sure most if not all of the songs were from here.

The band I'm looking for has a song that starts off with a sizable intro of building noise before slamming into kind of a punk\metal\new wave thing. The rhythm is kind of staggered and something like The Police would do, but with Devo\Cars like synths and some seriously crunchy guitar almost more metallic, especially in the chorus. The vocalist whoops and wails like a glam version David Lee Roth. I think the chorus is something like "Where will it go." THe only other thing i remember is being REALLY impressed with the unique punchy sound the song had and my attempts to look for more on discogs only to find their name was so generic there were tons of entries. I also seem to recall the release date as being around 78-82.
I hope this is enough info. At the very least i provided a laugh of my description if you know what it is. thank yoU!

So great live! Hi my blog-brother and Happy Turkey Day. I am on the hunt for any / all releases from The Anderson Council. There are 5 - especially after Assorted Colours and Worlds Collide.

If I can ever help here at RFW - just scream.

I always thought Pebbles and Dino should have sung it as a duet
