CHROME

One of the original forefathers in the industrial boom of the 1980s, 

Chrome's amalgam of distorted guitars and vocals, samples from TV, 

and a raw punk aesthetic (inspired by the Stooges) became much more popular 

in the early '90s than it ever was while the band was around in the '70s and '80s. 

Although active for only six years, Chrome left behind a huge discography, 

including nine full LPs (several of which were released posthumously) 

and numerous EPs and singles. Chrome were formed in San Francisco 

around 1977 by vocalist/drummer Damon Edge, vocalist/guitarist Mike Low, 

guitarist John Lambdin, and bassist Garry Spain; each played other instruments 

as well, including tape machines, electric violin, and Moog

 SLEEVE NEAR EX (please, see pictures and read above description)

With Creed recruited to replace original member Mike Low, Chrome started 

kicking into high gear at last. While Spain and Lambdin weren't out 

of the picture yet, cowriting half the songs with Edge, Creed's mind-melting 

guitar swiftly took prominence, turning a wiggy band into a total headtrip. 

Rather than just aiming at acid-rock styling, Creed stuffed his fretbending 

into an evil, compressed aggro-sound, at once psychedelic and totally in-your-face. 

The combination of screwy sound and art on a budget placed Chrome 

as something like West Coast cousins of early Pere Ubu 

and Destroy All Monsters, not a bad place to be...(AllMusic)
