Who knew protopunk started in Lima, Peru in 1964? That might be a bit of an overstatement, but Los Saicos (pronounced “psychos”) had clanging guitars, gravelly vocals and a raw sound that presaged much of what punk would come to be–though with a definite surf-rock tinge. (Pixies, anyone?) Almost any of these tracks would be standouts on the Nuggets compilation. Check out the title track Demolición and Fugitivo de Alcatraz for convincing samples. A must for garage rock aficionados.
