'Music To Kill By' - Iron Cross LP - USA - 1977
According to Gulcher, this was a loose-knit (proto-)punk "supergroup" from NY/NJ/DC/wherever. At the core of the Korps were Gizmos mainman Ken Highland and brothers Solomon and Jay Gruberger, who were the living-room trio of O. Rex for the previous four years. In 1976, drummer/multi-instrumentalist Ken Kaiser tightened up their sub-garage approach. Then along came Kim Kane and Martha Hull from the D.C.-area Slickee Boys. The recordings became free-for-all punk-rock "super sessions" with various other Slickee Boys members, DC scenesters, rock writers, etc. joining in. So now you know.
