This band have been around a while. I know that as they featured on a 'Vera Groningen' compilation album from way back. The music in the main is Replacements/Stooges in places ('Big Baby') whilst vocally Fred Schnieder (B52s) comes to mind, especially on 'New York is Gone'. Hold on every track is reminding me of a different band.  'Made That Mistake Before'has a chorus that sounds like pre-'Unknown Pleasures' Joy Division (Stooges influence???) It also features a cover of Sabbath's 'Never Say Die' that is let down by the subdued Iggy style vocal. Hmmm Iggy covering sabbath! Now your talking.
