Do it!  Do it!  I would love to hear what these guys sound like :)  I
found this "mission statement on the subpop web site:
-----
Their original intent was to create a rock group free of commercial
pretensions or genre trend; one that simply dealt in pure bombast,
attack, overwhelming distortion and chaos, and yet possessing a
shameless love for anthemic choruses, shattering hooks and riffs, and
the smoke and magic of yesteryears’ rock and roll iconoclasts.

And how fucking cool is that? Man, if I could put together any band I
wanted, I could hardly improve on that philosophy.  Hardly
"progressive", but sure sounds like fun :)

I went cruising for MP3 samples from the latest album, but haven't found
any yet, so I'd be keen to hear a happening live recording :)

Great gods above, I must hear this band!

Cheers,
Carl
