Out On A Limb

MRR DROWNED LP review 2011 OUT ON A LIMB are a German band that play driving post punk. The singer has dry, spoken/sung approach and to me sounds like he has an English accent. In fact the music makes me think of late '70s or early '80s English post punk. A not-so-arty WIRE or the FALL perhaps with a touch of JOY DIVISION. The guitars have some good melodic leads and interplay. And in fact the last two numbers up the arty-ante a little with these long, slow dirges or by mixing up the dynamics and adding a little vocal effect. Worth checking out. Nice hand screened covers.
