Great album cover art
Band: THE BIRTHDAY PARTY (1978-1983)
Who: Maniacal Australian gang fronted by
a young Nick Cave.
Artwork: Cover of their third and final LP JUNKYARD
released 10 May 1982. 40 years ago.

The image looks like how NME described the BP back then:
“The Birthday Party are awful. Subversively awful. Awesomely great.
Awesomely brilliant.”
