As they were mentioned on the new releases thread (by me, ahem) I thought they deserved their own thread.
David Line appears on this podcast and plays some songs including a new one!
For those who don’t know they were an early 2000s alt rock band influenced by Sonic Youth and Pixies but still quite melodic and basically one of the most interesting alt-rock bands from that era and if they were American they would appear in loads of best cult band lists and you should listen to this album:
a few months or so ago I re-bought When do we start… as I’d lost it in a million house moves, and quite enjoyed going back through it. I was only prompted to do so because John from Maybeshewill was talking about it, and I was really, really close to buying him a promotional plastic bag for the album which someone had put on ebay.
‘Surviving the Quiet’ is an album I absolutely rinsed for about 5 years but haven’t even thought about it for years afterwards. No idea why that is: maybe should go back to it.
This was my wake-up call for a while, Christian O’Connell would spin it regularly but I’d never catch the name of the song or band.
It was only until I was walking past one of the stages at Reading Fest ‘01 that I heard that opening bass riff and finally discovered who the band was. Worra choon.
