It's a pretty shocking coincidence that
Someone & The Somebodies had the inclination to cover "Workin' in a Coal Mine" the very same year Devo dished out their own rendition of it. Then again, this was well before the internet, and Devo were from Ohio while this foursome were situated in New England...so who knows. I just hope these guys didn't have egg on their face, because at the very least they do the tune justice, and perhaps coincidentally or not they also bore an eccentric, spastic electro-rock modus operandi of the same genus that Akron's boys-done-good took to the bank. Admittedly, Someone's overarching pastiche recalled early 415 Records geeks the Units more than anyone else. The closest this troupe approaches the realm of the serious/conventional evidences itself on "It's Only Extazy" loosely dangling a melodic, post-punk carrot over it's near five minutes. Subsequent S&tS releases would follow though I've yet to encounter them.
01. Workin' in a Coal Mine
02. We Were Only Kidding
03. It's Only Extazy
04. Mombo Sombo
