Live: Spring Scream

Description:

After the lifting of martial law in 1987, Taiwan was finally ready for an original new music scene of its own. However, many live house pubs continued to feature mostly cover bands and radio waves were ruled by mandarin pop idols. The Taiwan band, LTK Commune, broke out in 1989 in reaction to the ineffectual switch from the authoritarian rule of martial law over to blind consumerism. LTK's sound is a frenetic take on nakasi, a rustic working class folk style of music, through the lens of the punk, new wave and alternative rock emerging out of the west.
