Westworld, Theatre of Hate's first studio album, came out in February 1982 on Burning Rome, with Mick Jones of the Clash producing. The London band, formed in 1980, was led by singer, songwriter and guitarist Kirk Brandon, once of the Pack, and this is post-punk with a cinematic chip on its shoulder: tribal drums, spaghetti-western drama and Brandon's voice soaring and quavering over the top like a preacher at the end of the world.
"Do You Believe in the Westworld" is the rallying cry. It turned out to be a brief blaze: the band broke up in 1983.
