Rudimentary Peni are a British anarcho-punk band. Culling influence from many different musical genres, as well as other aspects of culture, they are known as one of the most diverse and original groups to emerge from the punk scene. Although many of their releases spoke to the sentiment of many anarcho-punks, this was only keeping with a generally misanthropic viewpoint the band embraced. The band's content included subject matter ranging from Lovecraft to daily annoyances, and was never limited to purely apocalyptic or social issues.

Rudimentary Peni emerged from the British anarcho-punk scene in the early eighties as one of the most novel and recognizable acts of the era. Lead singer/guitarist Nick Blinko is notorious for his witty macabre lyrics and dark pen-and-ink artwork, prominently featured on all of Rudimentary Peni's albums. Blinko is also rumored to have written the band's Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric album whilst resident in a psychiatric hospital. Bassist Grant Matthews has also written a number of songs for the band, though his lyrics primarily focus on sociopolitical themes. Very few photos exist of the band, as their albums feature Blinko's drawings instead, but Pushead published a few in an early edition of his magazine.

In Maximum RocknRoll, issue #237 (February 2003), Matthews explains how he came up with the name of the band: "When I was at school studying biology, we were told that in the fetal stage the clitoris is a rudimentary penis."

The band had early connections with Crass.

The band stopped performing in the 1980s after bassist Grant Matthews was diagnosed with cancer. They continue to record and release material today, though they rarely give interviews.

Nick Blinko has also released a semi-autobiographical novel called The Primal Screamer, which is currently out of print. Blinko has also become increasingly popular in the Outsider Art scene. Though Blinko continues to release new music, he was recently admitted to a psychiatric hospital somewhere in London. The group released the "No More Pain" EP in June 2008. Nick Blinko has also finished a new untitled novel, due out sometime in the near future. Rudimentary peni, live in London, 1992, video - WIKIPEDIA

Drugi studyjny album tego najbardziej tajemniczego zespołu brytyjskiej sceny punkowej. Na dzień dzisiejszy bardzo trudno dostępny do zdobycia na innym nośniku, u wydawcy np. wyprzedany... I jeszcze recenzja tej płyty znaleziona w necie:

Not too many bands can pull off a concept album like this. Incredibly recorded in one 8 hour-or-so session (or so I've heard), this album reflects the band's obsession with HP Lovecraft, but also contains some of the best songs Rudi Peni have ever written.

Every song has something to do with Lovecraft's life or fiction. "Kappa Alpha Tau," for example, refers to a gang of cats HP Lovecraft used to play with. The acronym "K.A.T." was Lovecraft's clever designation for the feline fraternity. The haunting, excellent song "The Only Child" refers to Lovecraft's mother treating the young horror writer as a little girl, going so far as to dress him up in girls' gowns and grow his hair long while cruelly reminding him she had always wanted a girl instead of a boy. And "The Old Man is Not So Terribly Misanthropic," for another example, refers to Lovecraft's transformation from a reactionary supporter of racial eugenics to an advocate of a type of New Deal-ian "aristocratic socialism." Most of the references can be figured out by reading L. Sprague de Camp's authoritative biography of Lovecraft. In fact, I bought a copy of de Camp's Lovecraft: A Biography off Mr. de Camp himself shortly before I bought Cacophony on cassette in 1991 or so, and Cacophony basically plays out like the audio version of that biography. (The cover of my cassette version of Cacophony is a lot different than the CD version here; on the cassette is a Blinko illustration of the Lovecraft character Erich Zann, holding his demonic violin -- a much cooler cover if I do say so myself!)

Often the songs are strung together with spoken word bits: Blinko reciting a critics' condemnation of Lovecraft ("Howard was a twitch, boys and girls, and that's all there is to it!"), making noises intended to make one thing of gibbering shoggoths, a recitation of all the pen names Lovecraft ever used, a list of other authors that inspired Lovecraft (MLR James, Hawthorne, Poe, etc.), a definition of digestive cancer, which ultimately killed Lovecraft... in short, Lovecraft, Lovecraft, Lovecraft!

The music varies from song to song. Stand out tracks include "The Only Child," "Nightgaunts," "The Dead Loved," "Gentlemen Prefer Blood," and "The Old Man is Not So Terribly Misanthropic." Some songs end too quickly, for my taste: "Architectonic and Dominant" is an excellent instrumental that should have kept going for a bit longer, I think! The overall opus is a sprawling, moody, quirky, and slightly insane monstrosity punctuated with bits of speedy punk rock here and there, and slower, more melodic punk rock odes elsewhere.

Not recommended for those new to Peni, unless you are a fan of the bizarre, the weird, or HP Lovecraft, in which case this could very well be just the Peni album to start you off with. The album isn't as accessible as, say, "Death Church," but it has greater artistic merit. This album truly does transcend the genre.
