Cud - [1990] - Elvis Belt [316k VBR]

Cud
From Wikipedia,

Background information:

Origin Leeds, England
Genre: Indie rock
Years active
1987 to 1995, 2006-

Label(s) Reception (1987 to1988), Imaginary (1988 to 1991), A&M (1991 to 1995).

Cud are a British indie band formed in Leeds, England in 1987, consisting of vocalist Carl Puttnam (b. Ilford, Essex), guitarist/keyboardist Mike Dunphy (b.Northumberland), bassist William Potter (b. Derby, England), and drummer Steve Goodwin (b. Croydon, Surrey).

Though an indie rock band, their music incorporated elements of funk. They were critically acclaimed throughout their career, but never broke through to a mainstream UK record-buying audience. Perhaps this was in part due to their eccentric lyrical concerns, which occasionally led to their dismissal as somewhat of a "joke" band.

Eat - [1989] - Sell Me A God [251k VBR]

Eat - [1989] - Sell Me A God [251k VBR]

Sell Me a God (1989)is a lost treasure in the whole Indie-Rock thing of the late 80s.

All things said. This is one of my 5 favourite albums of all time, trying to squeeze that sentence from my lips.

The lyrics are urban, but timeless.
Like one of my favourite sentences from the Tom Wait'ish' track "Red Moon":
"Is life worth living?, well it depends on the liver."

I don't have that many albums that don't have love as a main infulence of pain, this is more like Munchs' "Scream", the way you feel utterly lost, and watching people around you, everything like a theatrical scene.

Ange Dolittle's strong controlled vocals lead the way on this debut album from 1989. It rocked it's way through World Domination, petrol, Mr. and Mrs. Smack, bums, drink, and boredom. Theirs is an urban world full of chaos and falling apart. Paul and Max Noble provide excellent lead on guitar and are always in control no matter the pace. The individual members worked as a team to create the final songs. The album did not chart.
