Barry Andrews "Haunted Box of Switches" Shriekback "Having A Moment" |
Barry Andrews - "Haunted Box of Switches"Shriekback - "Having A Moment"Barry Andrews has been one of my favorite pop singers ever since Michael Shannon made a compilation tape for me way back in highschool that just happened to have Shriekback doing "Fish Below the Ice" on it AND a remix of it at that! Since then, I've found Andrews' deep crackly baritone voice to be just the evil kind of voice to light a fire under the collective ass of pop music. Shriekback never quite had THAT kind of impact, but even after their most popular song (popular in terms of charts, mass culture, etc.), a cover of "Get Down Tonight" (by K.C. & The Sunshine Band), and their subsequent meandering on to other projects, Andrews and the rest of Shriekback are still making music worth listening AND that stands out from the pack. |
