One of this band looks like Danny Baker, don't hold that against them though.
So is this some sort of best of? I can't work it out. This band are apparently an old punk/new wave band from the 70s/80s. It is ok, with bits of surf rock, bits of art rock/jazz, mainly spoken word vocals, horns (but not too horrible), it almost reminds me of Mr Bungle but without the metal and the gibbering idiot vocals.
I've just realized it also reminds me of The Hold Steady, it is better than that sack of shit band. I don't know how many times I would listen to this but it's pretty interesting and it won't go in the bin.
