It's time for some goth-tinged fun. First up is the awful Rose Of Avalanche who exploited the Yorkshire love of all things goth (Sisters soon) and clearly listened to too much Lou Reed and a lot of The Ramones in their student days. I say they are awful because most of their recordings are just that!
However, this, their debut is actually really good, and still sounds great today - I remember Peel playing this to death, so much so that I actually went out and bought a copy. I just love the guitars, like a wall of sound and fuzz which grows louder and louder until it rounds off with some lovely acoustic guitar and synths as the song fades. Good stuff - this track will make you want to hear more, but honestly don't bother!
