Pylon – Gyrate (1980) When Pylon released their debut album, not many outside of Athens, G. took notice. But for the art majors and quirky townies in the Classic City, Pylon was the local embodiment of the post-punk scene, proving you didn’t have to be in London or New York to create something special. Droning bass, buzzing guitar and absolutely punishing drums provided the framework for Vanessa Briscoe to scream her way to the edge of insanity

Pylon's first album, although it doesn't contain masterworks on the level of the first single "Dub" or the later single "Crazy," is considerably more consistent than the comparatively spotty Pylon!! and Chomp. This is Pylon at their purest, mixing the spartan angularity of Gang of Four with a playfulness missing from similar . bands like the Au Pairs or the early Mekons (or indeed from Gang of Four themselves) as well as the irresistible danceability of their Athens, GA, compatriots the B-52's.

Pylon was a short-lived and hugely influential band in the local music scene, inspiring many of the bands that came after them. Founded by Michael Lachowski (bass) and Randy Bewley (guitar), they then recruited fellow art students Curtis Crowe (drums) and Vanessa Hay (née Briscoe) (vocals). Debut album Gyrate (1980) bursts with confidence. Hay croons and screams, defiantly daring whoever to drill a hole in her heart ( Feast On My Heart )
