When Cleveland's Rocket from the Tombs split up in the mid-70s, Pere Ubu rose from the ashes as a one-off project, to record the single "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" b/w "Heart of Darkness." But it did so well that they stuck together, with leader David Thomas continuing the group until his death this year. John and Marc delve into this pre-punk classic on the latest episode of the Spindle.
