About

In the mid-80s, Manchester's Inca Babies emerged from the shadows, fusing punk abrasion with blues' corroded soul. Their sound, a suffocating swirl of dark lyrical themes and high-voltage energy, captured the decayed essence of the era. Releases like "Opium Den" (1987) and "This Train" (1986) found their home on Black Lagoon Records, their grooves etched with terminal angst. The live tape "Live In '85" stands as a witness to their hostile stage presence, a volatile showcase of their early work. Inca Babies roamed the underground scene alongside kindred spirits like Bone Orchard and Blood & Roses. Their music, a collision of gothic rock's shadowy corridors and the raw edges of punk, thrived in the institutional decay of the Manchester soundscape. Labels like Independence and Rebel Rec. furthered their jagged journey, each release a step deeper into the abyss.
