A band I would likely never have heard of if I hadn't been visiting California in 1985 at the same time New Order were touring there, and Abecedarians were their opening act. Which was fitting, because there was definitely a big Joy Division/Section 25/etc influence on their music. I also hear a bit of the Chameleons and Comsat Angels.
Their recordings are notoriously difficult to find, but some of them were collected onto a 1990 compilation called The Other Side of the Fence. Worth getting your hands on, though I wouldn't call it essential or anything.
