I saw Fidelity Jones open for Nomeansno in 1989... it was close to Thanksgiving, and all I really remember about their set was that the singer complained about the upcoming turkey genocide between pretty much every song.

I always kind of liked their dubby song on State of the Union, but have never knowingly heard another track by them.

Based on this thread, I went on Bandcamp and listened to their ep for like the first time in probably 30 years... not as completely terrible as I remember it... solid musicianship, lots of cool parts, but just as they're getting into a catchy groove, they usually abruptly shift gears into some completely different/off-kilter/goofy noodling part and kill whatever momentum the song had... the last tune is probably the most straightforwardly rock/punk tune... kinda reminds me of Personality Crisis a bit, especially the vocals...

The 12”, right? It’s a lot better than the 7” IMO. It’s not great, but it’s much better than it gets credit for. I guess Beefeater were a bit of an acquired taste for a lot of people, and FJ are even more so.

"Blood Stone Burning". Just talked at length about that track last night as we covered the second side of the SOTU comp for the next EoE episode. I've never heard any other Fidelity Jones tracks. I missed the harder driving funk of Beefeater....it's much more smooth and I think the song begins to lose its way when it starts to go "dubby". Tomas is great with the English language though....some great lyrics on that one. But the song is a pretty big meal to digest - considering the other tracks on that comp.
