"BEFORE THEY WERE TALKING HEADS: Band members Chris Frantz and David Byrne met at Rhode Island School of Design and made music as The Artistics. In the spring semester of 1974, the band gathered in Chris's apartment to record a demo tape featuring tracks that eventually became classics in the Talking Heads discography - "Psycho Killer" and "Warning Sign." Over 50 years later, you can now listen to this newly discovered material,"
