The Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster

So the other day I was walking to a friends house and therefore had to make the trip through South Ashford. Anyone who's ever been to that armpit of an area would understand why I had my huge headphones on full blast. All you can hear otherwise is the local youths (as they're described on police radio reports) screaming at each other, cars violating the speed limit in places where children tend to play on the street and fat American tourists loudly expressing their amazement at the fact we have KFC over here. And people wonder why someone wouldn't want to go outside if they didn't have to. Anyway, I had my ipod on random and for the first time I'd listened to them in months, an EMBLD song came on, "Morning Has Broken" as it happens. About thirty seconds in I was completely reminded as to what made me fall in love with this band years back. Guy Mcknight might not be the best singer you'll ever hear but damn that guy has passion. He just always had this sense of urgency and sulfur to his vocals, much like Iggy used to do, that's been lacking in many new bands of late. Then there's the rest of the band that sound like The Cramps on cheap British cider. How can they not be a decent mutant of a rock 'n' roll act? So I made a note on my arm (no paper on me) to listen to my EMBLD records when I got home the following night and it was just as I suspected, they still slay like no man's business. For those of you who haven't checked this band out before, there's tracks from their two full lengths below. Buy their albums, they're pretty poor and it'll benefit both you and them.
