Yeah, you're right - but they have this distorted swirl on certain songs like "Raleigh" which is very reminiscent of some of those other T&G bands. No idea how to really describe them, except that they sound more like a 90s Husker Du than Sugar does.

Spade - you have to find better lists of album release dates.

mutty - if you know of a better one, please recommend it.

I am planning on editing the master list tonight, so until we come up with a better process, just wait 24 hours and the list will look a whole lot better than it does when I copy and paste in the huff of a busy day
