The 1981 Listening Post - The Fire Engines - Lubricate Your Living Room

The Fire Engines - Lubricate Your Living Room 


#10

January 1 1981

The Fire Engines

Lubricate Your Living Room

Genre: Post-Punk

4 out of 5



Highlights:

Get Up and Use Me


Guitars that seem to be recorded by people who have never played and are in  different rooms. They can hear the other players but juuuuuuuust barely. The drummer is banging on a kid’s set that is mic’d to sound like he’s in a dorm closet and the singer has no idea where he is or what he is doing. 

This is the kind of stuff that groups like Gone and others will practice throughout the decade but, unless you have/had a spectacular record shop proprietor, you would never have known it existed. 

WARNING: Do not listen to “Discord” after your second cup of coffee. I am on my second cup of David Lynch Limited Edition Organic and yes, my heart is about to explode.
