California Wives

[GhostOfDixie]

Just discovered this new band.

Intro guitar is quite haunting. Sounds very much like a more upbeat Joy Division/New Order.

Enjoyed some of them - last two especially. Cant really hear the Joy Division connection - New Order maybe. It sounds like some of the poppier stuff Wire did back in the day.

True, but you can see the influence.

By the way, I've just reminded myself of Wire's wonderful stuff. Outdoor Miner...a better 'New Wave'/pop crossover song around than this?
