PWEI
Never got them myself. Tried listening to them and to be honest they just sound shit. Can't see the appeal, even if you've got dreadlocks.

Their cover art was better than their music

Can't argue with that. I went ages thinking it must be something wrong with me; that I just wasn't listening properly or something. Now I realise it's just that they were fucking toss.

You, sir, are a wrong 'un.
That's all.

Hell's teeth, you don't actually like their stuff, do you? After listening to them I decided that the only reason people - and I'm thinking specifically of my cunt of an ex boss here - wore their t-shirts is because they had a nice logo, not because they listened to the music. Give me EMF any day.

I do like EMF
and I will concede that the Designers' Republic played a large part in PWEI's appeal - their album sleeves and T-shirts are a wonder to behold - but I still absolutely love their music.

I'll present Exhibit A and leave it at that: www.youtube.com/watch?v=05FKtPJO8IQ
