This has to be one of my favorite finds on an mp3 blog lately:
http://punknotprofit.blogspot.com/2007/04/empire-expensive-sound-1981-classic-lp.html

Had never heard it. Ex-Gen X members (no Idol), all UK punks, but a very
mature post-punk sound, like very early PiL, also like Wash., DC,
mid-80s punk bands Embrace, Gray Matter. The song "Empire" and the title
track, "Expensive Sound," have a kind of Killing Joke-iness about them,
I think. Free download at URL above.

A MySpace fan page that I can't access is apparently at:
