So I just discovered The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, who, apparently, will rock your face square the fuck off without a moment’s hesitation. It’s a relatively old song I’ve chosen to share with you guys, but one that I believe personifies their sound. Music like this feels very British to me. It’s authentically punk-ish, but the vocals (both main and backup) and supplementary guitar riffs sound mischievous. Almost like a band who know they look too pretty to be fully punk, but will piss along the boundaries and run away giggling.

Rise of the Eagle – The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster

When I heard this initially I thought perhaps Wavves had tightened up their style, but it’s actually by a band called The Wicked Awesomes! I love it, anywho. A deliciously lo-fi punk song that drones in all the right places, and has elements of Sonic Youth-riffage thrown in for good measure.
