Benitokage’s second single, released in 1977. Even though the band was still Benitokage by the time of this release, the record and sleeve may say Lizard & M(omoyo). No matter what the correct band name may be, this 7“ is definitely among the first japanese punk 7“es. Destroyer Side A is simple, fuzzed-out punk/protopunk; not very fast, but damn dirty and snotty, maybe comparable to bands like Crime? Kuroi Ningyou Tsukai on Side B is an earlier version of their posthumous LP’s opening track, a bit simpler, with more rock’n’roll than funk. This version here is only a re-release from 2005, of course.
