Formed around 1980 by punk rocker Rude van Steenes (ARSON) and Kurt LaPorte, GLAMATRON! is one of the best kept crate-digger secrets in the Canadian vaults. Their sole LP, Only the Heart Beats....Inside the Silence was self-released in 1981, and proudly showed its influences on its sleeve. The band recorded a second album (which was shelved) and ultimately broke up in 1984.
