leatherface playing in Glasgow responding to shouts from the crowd - 'Howay man, ah cannat understand a fookin word yer sayin like.' How can anyone vote crap to the band that wrote Little White God and covered Candle in the wind?

Nick Cave's ship song?

Yes that one. A rather orthodox cover of it other than Mr. Stubbs very distinctive raspy vocals, but well executed none the less.

I think this is an exceptional modern day punk rock band who are very melodically advanced in their songwriting. I saw somebody in the press described as Husker Du meets Moterhead and I find that fairly accurate. Rough as hell, but absolutely infectious when they are on.


Yeah everyone knows that they can never top Mush, but most of their albums have some real gems on them. Waffles for the fact their last album Dog Disco (and what a wretched fucking name) is mediocre at best thus forming quite a negative trendline.
