Fallout
A perfect companion piece to The Cravats. It even has Saxophones! And it has that discordant quality that, for me, is emblematic of what was put forth on “New Wave Theater”. I wouldn’t be surprised if both of these bands appeared on that show. Trouble is, I think that show was more impressed with chaos and anti-music and punk than it was what I preferred about “New Wave”.
Trouble is, much of this is cobbled together from live shows but that was the only way to hear some of it.
If you want the punk side of New Wave, this is it. It’s immediate and angry, like an aural augur.
