Units
In their short history, San Francisco’s Units exactly showcase the passage between sparse post-punk and minimal new wave that many bands went through in the period between 1979 and 1981.
Unser Favorit
More home-taping madness from Germany. Ready-made casio presets, girls’ voices equally singing and laughing, making fun of technology (while creating something totally technologically-sounding). Great obscure avant-NDW.
The Ungrateful Children
The Ungrateful Children is a flexipop obscurity, on which it is extremely difficult to find information. Judging on the lyrics, they might be from Australia...
UJ3RK5
UJ3RK5 - pronouned "you jerk" apparently was a conceptual art / post-punk band from Vancouver featuring various artists from the local scene of the time. It received an unexpected minor success at the time, but was soon dropped as a project, so its members can continue their art careers.
Unit 3 with Venus
A post-punk family project with preteen singer Venus singing about not liking beer. An extremely rare DIY gem.
Ultrasheen
One of the lesser known bands from the Club Foot / Subterranean Records family, yet another great example of cabaret art-jazz-punk.
