Metal Boys is a retread of Metal Urbane with a Chanteuse. First recorded and generally ignored in 1980-81, these guys were hard to pigeonhole,
hence to market. They sound a bit like Kraftwerk, but much darker with a more experimental approach,
occasionaly sharp guitar and a girl singer (speaking at times). They can go multilingual on a song, but you never know what's next. Techno
predecssors and a link from Kwerk to new wave,
in some ways. Ahead of their time.
