The Nuns - Suicide Child

Here's one from way back in the archives. The Nuns were from San Francisco and were considered a punk band at the time, although most of their 1980 debut album sounds pretty tame today. This one actually has a bit of a Stranglers thing going on. It was written by their original guitarist, Alejandro Escovedo, who went on to slightly bigger things as a member of cowpunk bands Rank and File and True Believers and later as a solo artist.

The Nuns released a few albums after this, but I never heard any of them.
