> We had made some points about how we were frustrated when we told folks

> And the same with Rudimentary Peni, associated w/ the 80s UK

> anarcho-punk scene but also pretty damn dark, gothy, and creepy

> themselves. (Same with MDC, still making albums -- and Poison Idea, Pig

> Champion RIP! -- other bands people seem to almost WANT to consign to

> Anyway, I like Rudi Peni as much, if not more, than Killing Joke. Hope

> Below is a fan video to a recent Rudimentary Peni song, from 2004. Like
