I don't listen to this band anywhere near as much as I should.

I sort of see them as a kind of bridge between post punk & early indie. They didn't have the rawness of say The Pop Group or Swell Maps , on the other hand they're a bit more abrasive than say Orange Juice or The Smiths.

I've only really heard Strange Boutique & Love Zombies , both great albums.

They also used to be Adam Ant's original band called The B Sides. They recorded one song , a cover of Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Are Made For Walking in 1976 and then split up.
Never heard it , wouldn't mind though.
