Crash Course In Science - ‘Cardboard Lamb’
More from Philadelphia, this is a real treat. Crash Course In Science were a wry art school band who made this proto new wave synth-punk track in 1981.

There’s a percussive hiss that echoes The Normal and is echoed in LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Losing My Edge’, and the mechanical industriousness sounds like a kind of proto-techno.
They also made an iconic video which was a hit at the Danceteria nightclub in New York that year…behold:
