Isotope

1. Nuclear Hardcore Punk from Oakland, California. The band features current and past members of Crimson Scarlet, Hazzards Cure, Sanctum and other Bay Area acts. They play a blistering burning spirits style in the vein as such Japanese greats such as Deathside and Bastard. 2. Isotope was a British jazz-rock band fronted by guitarist Gary Boyle. Boyle founded the band in June 1972 and a first album, Isotope, was largely composed by keyboardist Brian Miller. Jeff Clyne played bass and Nigel Morris played drums. Clyne and Miller left in 1974, however, and were replaced by Hugh Hopper and Laurence Scott (b. 7 Feb 1946) respectively. After touring, this new line-up recorded the band's second album Illusion. In late 1974 the band appeared on film on BBC 2's The Old Grey Whistle Test playing "Spanish Sun" from the album. Read more on Last.fm.
