I went through a weird period as a kid where I obsessively watched Get Smart. Maybe it was the shoe phone, maybe it was utter boredom. I’m not sure. But after all those hours of watching I can’t tell you a single thing about that show. Nothing at all. The Get Smart that I do remember and think about is this band that people seem to have forgotten. I’ve never talked to a single person who has heard about this band. This, I do not understand. With all the reissues of forgotten 80s bands this still seems to have no clout. Maybe it was their location (Lawrence (but smartly relocated to Chicago)) that led to this band falling by the wayside. They were even on a imprint of a large label so they should have had even a little success. But in times like these where you can look up a video of someone vomiting on a baby’s head on your phone, you’d think that this group would have a hoard who have neck tattoos of the members faces. Perhaps this band is just too fucking good for the mass of human garbage. These songs probably have too much energy and tension for your average person who likes commercials with ironic mustaches and coffee from Macdonalds. But you're probably some one who likes Wire and the Embarrassment and Your Food, so you'll like this too.
