How come this band never made it big?

Eric Bloom is one of the top vocalists I have ever heard.

Lead guitarist Donald (Buck Dharma) Roeser should get kicked in the teeth whenever he sings, but can he ever pick it!

Here are a few top picks...

Mark, Ed Horn and I rocked these Secret Treaties classics on 8 track in high school...

"Harvester of Eyes" leads into "Flaming Telepaths", then "Astronomy".

Their very best, in my opinion.

Here you go.

Two more examples from "Cultosaurus Erectus"..."Black Blade"...

"Divine Wind" from the same album...translated from Japanese language means "Kamikaze". NOT the DRINK. The ACT. Written during the Iran hostage crisis, it is a prescient warning stating about the Ayatollah Khomeini, that "If they REALLY think we're the DEVIL, then let's send them to HELL". Whooaah!
