Subject: Who knows this band?
Written By: Xidu on 02/03/04 at 10:30 p.m.
Some days ago I was reading a CD review about the British 80's band FELT when i came across the following lines:
Felt were soon eclipsed - and then some - by that other '80s band of provincial outsiders with a mono-named vocalist, a one-off guitarist and record sleeves that demanded endless pondering.
That description sounds as if it should ring a bell, but no name springs to mind.
Can anyone help me? ???

I'm thinking either U2 or the Smiths...

I haven't a clue but Trouser Press has reviews which likens their sound to a variety of musicians/bands, but mostly with Tom Verlaine/Television.
(also Lou Reed, Dylan, Smiths, Atec Camera)
