Was spinning their debut on Friday and just going through their videos now for a kick and thought I'd post them for fun in case someone shares my curiosity;

 

 

 

 

And for what it's worth - I can't even remember this song, long, but I assume it's off 'Inwire';

 

I never realised they had so many singles (deserved) from that debut album. All the killer cuts too. I notice on wikipedia there is allegedly a video of 'Whisper in the rain' from 1990. I actually think that's a bit of a bland tune, but I'd be curious to see the video, mostly because it's from 1990. But I couldn't find that one on the Tubes. 

What you give is the opening track from Inwire, and probably the only song on that album that I can even stomach .. and that is just barely.

I heard 'Bombs And Battlescars' today and I'm a bit confused by it. Are the first 6 tunes new songs, and the others old demos? I was maybe a bit harsh on 'One Gun' initially, and I find myself not minding the first 5 songs, and 'Hang me out' is okay. 'Hogs' and 'All' are surely 'Inwire' leftovers and the last song I guess is a later attempt at recapturing the glory that 'Love don't live here anymore' brought them? Either way, it's not great. 

I like the sound and style of the new songs and more or less the production. A few of the songs could just use a little finesse, but not bad at all. 

 

'Spellbound' is the stand out track, sadly, as a cover song. But I do like that one.
