The 1980 single that sounds like a "funny-scary" acid trip


Chrome : New Age


In March of 1980 The San Francisco based acid punk band Chrome released "New Age" on Beggars Banquet. The band was started by Damon Edge and Helios Creed who told writer Simon Reynolds "one of the first things people noticed was Chrome sounds like a paranoid acid trip...funny-scary, we called it.The bad trip would turn into a good trip because you'd already been to the most negative part of the universe."

"New Age" would be the opening track of Chrome's Red Exposure, a landmark album in the Industrial Punk scene.
