Leitmotiv
Post punkers from Sheffield (UK) —————-
North of England goth band, with a four-man line-up consisting of Simon Asquith (vocals & guitar), Steve Shepley (keyboards), Dean Woodhead (bass) and Paul Asquith (drums). ’Silent Run’ should be a post punk classic, otherwise ’(Living in a) Tin’ is more synth/wave oriented, and here is a version remixed from the mini album ’Caress And Curse’. They realeased two excellent singles “Silent Run” in 1984 and “To the Suffering” in 1985 and the richly textured instant mini-album “Caress and Curse”. Then, the line-up changed and Louie replaced the bassist Dean Woodhead. They released a maxi-single 12″ “Big Money” in 1986.
This is excellent guitar & drum driven old scool dark punk. It isn;t made like this anymore.
