I really like them. In "Nothing ever happens" there's a beautiful version of
"Bizarre Love Triangle", a fact that allows me to mention another band who
covered the song and that I think should be familiar to every BandS oriented
ear. I'm talking of Devine & Statton, one of the first names that came to my
mind after listening to BandS.
Is it me, or they (and their former band Young Marble Giants) were/are
inspirational for many bands?
