A lot of PiL as well but they go beyond that. Just great. Saw them live a few years ago.

I heard a lot of Pil in Exek. Almost too much.
Also, that group Squid's singer sounds too much like Mark E. Smith at times.
Both groups are still listenable enough

Exek have certain songs that are total PiL pastiche but enough that arent, imho.

The new Jon Savage comp 1977-1979 Symbols Clashing Everywhere is a great buy if you're into this sort of thing. It has a lot of interesting b-sides you wouldn't normally come across. For me one of the big revelations was Siouxsie & the Banshees' 1978 b-side "Voices," which shows that they were interested in psychedelia even at that early stage.

& Guardian Singles' new album Feed Me To The Doves is out on Trouble In Mind - much more Pacific NW-y than you usually get from a Kiwi band:

anyone who can recommend me rock in 2023 that sounds like sabbath's "mob rules" feel free to chime in

in happier news, this Stuck tune ("freak frequency"), caught my ear on the college radio station the other day. on re-listening, it's maybe a little rote, but it's pretty good!

Saw Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamps live last in Washington DC. They were fun. A few folks had mentioned their 2018 album on other threads. They’re a 12 piece from Geneva, Switzerland with a singer / violinist, a horn section, a cello player, 2 percussionists, 2 marimba players ( or was that one xylophone and one vibraphone), electric guitar and electric bass, acoustic bass.
Sounded kinda like Stereolab meets A Certain Ratio and Pigbag plus an occasional bit of European and Brit folk

saw them Sunday, great set to a too small crowd at Pioneer Works. would add a bit of Kleenex/Lilliput and Anne Clark.
playing barbès in Brooklyn on Thursday, don't know how you fit 12 pieces with 2 drummers and 2 marimbas in that tiny room.

There were about 50 people on the backyard lawn at Rhizome in DC last night. Yep, I went to Barbes in Brooklyn once and it is small. Wonder how they will do it. I heard a bandmember explain last night to someone after the show that they didn't try to bring the marimba on the plane, they borrowed one in NYC.

New R.M.F.C. album drops today. Their previous "The Hive" comp was one of my favorite Devo-esque, garage-punk albums of recent years:
