I discovered Punishment of luxury in the mid 80´s and it´s a mystery why I haven´t heard their music earlier! Here we have some odd punk(?) with a very personal style – fantastic! As far as I know, they did release 4 7″ and 1 LP.
Country: UK
Year: 1979

Secrets
wholly fuxx… I haven’t heard this in a full twenty years. THANX!!
I love Brainbomb, one of my favourite tracks by Punilux, not as good as Jellyfish, but not far off.
Chaos UK do a cover of Brainbomb.
Punishment of Luxury released 3 albums in total. “Laughing Academy” was released in 1979 on United Artists, a 2nd album “Gigantic Days” was recorded in 1981 but was not released until the late 90s by Underground. The 3rd album “Revolution by Numbers” was also released by Underground.

This is really disconcerting –
