Honolulu Mountain Daffodils: Guitars of the Oceanic Undergrowth
Another one of those bands about whom not much information has survived into the age of the internet. I'm not even sure which country they were from. But, great music, great music, particularly if you like post-punk and the sound of fuzzboxes.
Allmusic says: "The only true ambition of the Daffodils was to have their records exist in obscurity until developing a cult of fans via a steady slew of dollar bin discoveries. In fact, as legend has it, the artwork for the 1987 album Guitars of the Oceanic Overgrowth was designed to look as if it had spent at least two decades gathering dust in a record shop's sunshine-prone window display."

The final track is the famous Pere Ubu song but in a much better version.
