HeinzHines Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Those tracks are nice....very post punk....certainly more than a hint of joy division....thats not a bad thing or a sweeping generalisation..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Ollie just pointed me in the right direction to listen to this....I can hear the Joy Div. influence in the guitar, plus I like the kind of Bowie meets Peter Perret vocals Look forward to seeing this live!

A Former Pisshead Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hey the poster fot the gig says: Stoszek ex-Cuts post-punk Joy Division sound. Oh Dear just what I wanted! Then everyone compares us to Joy Division! Guess I can't complain though we're not trying to copy JD its just that I can only do really simple stuff, like Barney from JD, on guitar! Thanks for the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Heard someone doing 'Transmission' next door to us in Tom's a few weeks ago, was that you?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Former Pisshead Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 No it was most certainly not I would never be that obvious! Anyway my favorite band is Galaxie 500 & I've been listening to the Jesus & Mary Chain, Yo Le Tengo, Gang of Four & Magazine recently so we're not Joy Division copyists! OK! Seriously though the first song online (No More Exclusives) has a kind of JD thing going on but on average I don't think we sound like them. The second track is a kind of Couteau Twins/Durutti Column esque instrumental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKMartin Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Sounds VERY like Joy Division. Has someone already said that?I don't like drum machines either. But it's still a pretty decent track, think this band could be worth watching out for. Better than the endless indie-schmindie or faux-metal nonsense that proliferates in Aberdeen.AKM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Mr Pisshead...if you haven't heard the Only Ones, give them a listen. I think you'll enjoy their stuff (I also like Galaxie 500 a lot, and have some connections with them, but I think I already told you that????).

Steve Temple Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Anyway my favorite band is Galaxie 500 & I've been listening to the Jesus & Mary Chain' date=' Yo Le Tengo, Gang of Four & Magazine recently so we're not Joy Division copyists!

This might lead to people associating you with them.Why are the songs not available to download? My can't connection doesn't buffer them, so I can't listen to them, and I really want to because the bands you list are almost the exact same ones by band is influenced by!

As for the name we asked a lot of people who all said Stroszek it wasin't first choice by any means but we're happy with it. Never mind the JD thing cos we're not JD copyists but love or type of music www.myspace.com/stroszekuk . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes no sense to me! I speak such utter crap when under the influence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
