May 24, 2010: No Knife
Artist: No Knife
Album: Hit Man Dreams
Year: 1997
Not much to say about this early album from post-punk pioneers No Knife. Angular guitar riffs, melodic songwriting with a clear edge. I only owned their last album, Riot For Romance!, but this a great album for investigating the beginnings of a band who would eventually write a masterpiece. Highlights are "Your Albatross" and great closer "Sweep Away My Shadow". Fans of Fugazi and mid-late 90's post-punk and pre-emo emo check them out, but I'd highly reccomend starting with songs from their magnum opus Riot For Romance!

While you're on youtube, check out "The Red Bedroom" by them, it's my favorite song by them and a bit more up-to-date.
