Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.

As long as there's sex and drugs, I can do without the Rock 'n' Roll....

never trust a monkey with a machine gun!

Have just been listening to one of their songs on the web - IMHO it's like a poor man's Curve, but make up your own minds......

Having listened to that track, can you see my point - how did they fit in alongside The Damned and Dead Kennedys? Hmmmmm.....[/img]

I don't know, listening to that link you provided, they sound more like a poor man's Shirley Manson/Garbage without the talent, energy or musical interest. I'm not even a big Garbage fan, but given the choice between the two, I'd rather have Garbage LPs throw at me with a catapult. That's just me, though.

But one thing is true, that ain't punk in any sense I can imagine, regardless of how broad you define it. Synth rock, mixed with goth nonsense and faux heavy metal stylings, sure.

It doesn't fit in with The Damned or the DKs, or any other punk acts I can even think of, really. *shrug*

Admittedly, that's only one of the tracks that they've done, but from my hazy recollection of the end of their set at Punkaid that's the sort of stuff they did.
I'm sure if you really dig that sort of music, then maybe you'd love it. I in truth found it all a bit tedious at the time and really couldn't work out how they managed to squeeze on to a festival bill like P.aid.

Still it was all for chrarridy so who am I to be critical? Ok bugger, I'm a critic - it's my job!
