I fell in love with the bands associated around the C86 era, so was slightly annoyed at the onslaught from the English press who had little hope for their longevity. Time has proven how wrong they were. One of my favourite groups from that strangely aligned group of musicians, The Wolfhounds have continued to make fantastic great music. (We’ll hear something from their excellent Electric Music soon). On this edition of Chimes we take to a listen to some of their fantastic back catalog. As well – the mighty Pavement and a flurry of bands who took inspiration from them.
