So I honestly have been studying music academically and listened to it for a long time. And there are truly many great vocalists and lead singers out there in the music world. But honestly tomata du plenty has to be up there on my top 5 favorite. Now I'm not saying he had the best vocals or best sounding vocals of all time. But you can't deny the man's raw energy and total vibe and oneness with that high energy sound lol. I love it. And I think it's kinda cool they didn't sign to any record company when they could have easily. Kind of sticking it to the man and playing what you want in a way

If you ever seen the movie that Tomata stars in called Population: 1 then you'll probably rank him higher as musician and maybe even an artist.

The greatest band to never release an record. They wanted it to be absolutely perfect, and before they thought it would be, they broke up. And had added a female vocalist and I think a horn player and completely changed their sound. We only have this from Target Video and a few demos. Let that be a lesson - record that shit, even if you don’t think it’s perfect!

Seems like I read an article lately that had the Screamers waiting on the majors to come calling with big money as opposed to any DIY ethics or preference for video. Too bad they broke up right before the underground was about to establish itself to an extent that it could have supported them via gigs and indie distros. Punk in those days was still seen as a commodity...sometimes even to the bands themselves.
