hey marcello i really enjoyed that

small point of fact you might want to correct - nation of ulysses didn't form until 1988 so they don't seem like a good example, perhaps sub Minor Threat or something else from DC?

there always seemed something vaguely 1983 about NoU but perhaps it was just me. thanks for noticing, will fix.

Listening to 'Killers' this morning it really caught me how much DiAnno seems to be channeling Ian Gillan on the track "Twilight Zone". That track also has a souped up "Highway Star" gallop. Seems like an early track where you can hear the influence.

Members of Pinback, Oceansize and Cardiacs (among others) record a cover of "Mission From 'Arry" for a BLM benefit EP:
