They’re more shoegaze than anything else, especially in their later albums, but they had a couple of heavier songs like this one early on. They opened for The Cure on the Wish tour in ‘92. I think the singers weird toddler-sounding voice put a lot of people off and they pretty much disappeared by the mid-2000s.
I saw them twice in the 90s. They were a pretty cool live act; very down to earth - I remember a few of the band members hanging out behind the theater after a show smoking cigarettes with the fans.
That’s a perfect description. If you want to check them out, the Wings Of Joy album is a good place to start. Or the EP collection. Their late 90s and 2000s stuff isn’t really to my liking, though.
I never heard of them before, but they sound pretty good. What do you know about them?

Yeah, I see references to that on their Wikipedia page:
I see that as an absolute win!

Thanks for the recommendations!
