darling buds - pop said, crawdaddy, erotica
i like this innocent buzz guitar pop from time to time and no-one else did it as well as the buds, pint sized andrea and her cohorts for a while were brimming with classic indie-pop credentials, the first lp is instant pop fizz with classic tracks as hit the ground, shame on you, formulaic maybe but when its this good who cares, and a very early outing for the sheffield design house - the designers republic !! second lp continued in the same vein although tried to add a bit of the uprising dance drum patterns but is a strong set never the less, whereas the last lp 'erotic' slows the rhythms down and fuzzes up the guitars even more, indicating that they had been listening to my bloody valentine a lot, this is an excellent guitar led 40 mins, like i said i liked em a lot .. and live they were far better than their more successful rivals the primitives .. time for a revival ?
