about 1 year ago

When I took a break from Gang of Four in 1981 I formed a band with Barry Andrews of XTC and a new friend of ours, Carl Marsh. We called it Shriekback. Wikipedia has the dirt on Shriekback here. Anyway, our pals over at !K7 Label Group have sent me a new compilation entitled Disco Not Disco upon which I find a Shriekback cut called My Spine Is The Bassline which just happens to be one of my favo...

Shriekback are popular for their exploration of the darker, funkier side of rock music, usually featuring Dave Allen's driving basslines.

So, I'm very excited to say that my wife Lisa is 16 weeks, 4 days pregnant, and needless to say I've been thinking a lot about all that comes with parenthood, especially how to raise a child, and all the hopes and fears that entails. One song in my collection that I've listened to over & over lately, and I'm sure for many months to come, is 'Cradle Song' by Shriekback. I have always thought i...

Shrieking the Funk
10 months ago

That Friday MOG mandate has pushed me to the frontiers of funk, particularly the arty, edgy, tribal chug of Shriekback's 1982 track "My Spine (Is the Bassline)." A dance club staple during the decade, the extended mix established the post-punk London band as darlings of the rock underground.ShriekbackShriekback was founded in 1981 by ex-XTC keyboardist Barry Andrews and former Gang of Four bass...

The album Oil & Gold has long been a constant in my playlist, and today - it's been a good song to listen to, so - here's one for the weekend:From 1985 - i find this album to be my favourite of theirs, though there are definitely other good songs on other good albums. Maybe it's 'cause this is how i was introduced to the band... it's dark, it's moody, it's rocking, it's got some mellow moments ...
