"the liver-swollen bile of The Fall circa 'Hex Enduction Hour'"
"glowering Cardiff publicans"
"caustic and surreal Northern wit"
"cheap drum machine beats and wincingly literal bass rhythms, plus a bit of improv cornet"

"the best band in Britain"
"messy post-punk tuneage"
"like Pop Will Eat Itself only shitter"
"the funnest music"
