Pensive punks (ex-Pussycat Trash) with a fine sense of dynamics and a knack for making political lyrics personal and evocative rather than polemical and formulaic (a bit like Fugazi in that respect, as well as in their angular/circular rhythms). Emma "if I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution" Goldman would be pleased. 1. circular bassline, dual f/m vox, nice tempo changes 2. swaying - cool interlocking guitar/basslines 3. rolling, w/handclaps - a more ambiguous answer to Crass's "Bata Motel"? dig the scratchy breakdown! 4. trumpet lends a bit of Dog Faced Hermans feel 5. odd warm guitars 6. sharp guitars, calm confident vox 7. headnodding in an Ex-y way 8. starts and stops, odd (guest) vox 9. Fugazi-ish, spare start, w/trumpet 10. wavering and wiggly, happy revolution - "give a cop a cuddle! how you gonna tame us?" | ||
