They sound like Wig era Dag with a splash of Fugazi. Anyway, I can't get into them right now. They would probably be fun to watch live though if they played their earlier, faster tunes. Have fun!
What did you listen to? If it wasn't
Less Deep Inside Keeps, it was the wrong place to start.
I thought it was super clear from what he wrote that he enjoyed that era (
Less Deep Inside Keeps, which contains earlier, faster tunes) much more than the later stuff (which I personally enjoy MUCH more; just rocked side 1 of
Hot Bodi-Gram before work today). I'm curious, too, though.
I have a new theory about these records relating to Wire (they covered "Ex Lion Timer," of course) and how which era you prefer relates to that and what it says about your taste. If you like LDIK, you probably prefer
Pink Flag over
154. HBG is their 154 and
Trigger their
Chairs Missing. I realized it this morning as parts of side 1 reminded me a bit of
154 and that's a connection I never made before, but I know they must have been fans. What's odd is that you, like me, are a huge fan of post-punk stuff that is directly inspired or similar to
154.
