One of the GREAT British bands where dissonance reigns and reigns, poignant cutting clever lyrics keep you sharp and you wish they share forever. Amen.

but I find it hard to share with non-British friends, because it's so culture referent.

"Pulling the ice axe from my leg, I staggered on, spindrift stinging my remaining eye". Genius.

It doesn't take more than a handfull of listens to gently realise that this is the greatest songs of any musical genre EVER written. A masterpiece.

I was listening them on the train down to Devon to join the Royal Marines and during basic training 35 years ago!!

The government wants pupils singing a tasteful little song called 'Strong Britain, Great Britain', which is basically 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' with the production values of 'There's No-one Quite Like Grandma.' This is my counter-suggestion.

Uplifting. Poets for all the generations.

I saw this band in a Somerset pub somewhere but I can't remember where I was out of my head on Magic Mushrooms. I think it was Bishop's Lydeard near Taunton 2017. I live in Taunton so it could well have been.

Good point. Why isn't it called a train replacement service?

Favourite HMHB song since the first time I heard John Peel play I Hate Nerys Hughes back in 1986. Seen them play Live on numerous times over the last 30 years. Massively underated.

Oh fuck, that takes me back. The music industry entered an irreparable downhill spiral on the day Peel died. Lamacq fights a brave fight and Iggy is still in our corner, but hard times are here to stay.

Brilliant band. Saw these a few years back when I was like 15. Hilarious lyrics

Quite possibly the best song I've ever heard. (and that is saying something)

Embrace the margin...

Great song from a band with a bizarre, witty take on the world. I propose that the UK and the rest of the Anglosphere adopt an official *National Shite Day*, to be held on the first Friday the 13th of every calendar year.

No... HMHB and SM are both brilliant in their own way. Both have great lyrics, humour, integrity darkness and light. I saw HMHB yesterday at Leamington and definitely see a comparison. HMHB were brilliant and so we're the fans .. as is the case with SM. There's room for both. SM's collaboration with Coldwar Steve too...a visual artist with a similar aesthetic ( at risk of sounding like an art wanker). And I don't think SM take themselves any more seriously either. Not on them if other people do.
