Cannibals, yes. On the same EP as High Pressure Days, Cowboy & Work. A bit rawer (as was High Pressure Days) than the LP versions. Their other 7" from those days was Warm Moving Bodies/I-Night. There's actually a website for 'em that I've contributed to a bit -- http://www.users.uswest.net/~salien/units/ I see the same guy is attempting to do a Screamers site as well. Now *there* was a band ... sort of like Suicide's spastic younger brothers.
