Description
In Episode 4, Barely Human turns to the space between the hippies and the punks to find the bands who didn't fit in with the bands who didn't fit in. From the US midwest in the early 1970s, we find Cleveland proto-punk act the electric eels, who were toying with the tropes of punk years before the movement started. Then we look at Death from Detroit, a band of three brothers who turned down a twenty thousand dollar recording contract in 1975 because they refused to change their name. Barely Human is written and hosted by Max Easton, and produced by Jason L'Ecuyer and Output Media.
