A good album from an Indie band

"This was one of many of those bands where a group of young people who had heads full of ideas go into a studio and cut an album and it sold a few copies (a few thousand copies perhaps, but a few in relative terms)

This is a good album. The band doesn't use scales, so their melodies are very unusual. The production could be better, but that's not a big deal. They are essentially a rock band. The lineup is guitars, bass and drums. The vocals are raw but decent. They tell weird stories. It isn't a very pop-sounding album, it's very raw and hard-edged. It's garage band-jamming, there's some good instrumental sections. Their lyrics are very weird, sometimes humourous stories. It has a fairly dark feeling aura to it, but it is essnetially raw-garage jams. I liked it, hope you will too, Brendan"
