Sardine V

The term post-punk gets thrown around like the local pub drunk who's had a few too many ales but it doesn't matter in this case. Call it what you will. Sardine V were from Australia and have a couple of releases under their belt; a 7" and a 12" lp labelled, I hate you. From this 12" is a track that no doubt cannot be topped in terms of simplicity and beauty called 'stuck on you'. A little synth, a Phil Spector influenced Ronettes beat, some chorus and reverb on the axe, and voila, audio jizm. Phoenix Hairpins' blog has it posted, so get your ass over there.


Terminal Cheesecake

Terminal Cheesecake were a British band from the late 80's that were ex-members of a band called the vibe. Noisy, Hypnotic in terms of their rhythmic patterns on drums, and, you guessed it, distorted guitars with massive amounts of delay on vocals. And with the notion that even a twelve year old in Zanzibar has access to the internet, it's no surprise websites and so called music experts can give boatloads of recommendations of bands at the whim of a so called sound but don't kid yourselves, they always get it wrong, don't they? That being said, I'm no so called expert but I do know what I like and this is the real deal. Terminal Cheesecakes' magnum opus is V.C.L which I thankfully got from discogs for a tolerable amount of money. (Upload coming soon!)

Fans of Godflesh, take notice!
