The Homosexuals


False Sentiments
the Homosexuals
The Best Song Ever!

That's the band not the sexual preference. I love British post-punk. There were so many great bands in that era. How could I pick just one as the greatest? Well that would be ridiculous! But The Homosexuals would come close because they were never too dour and wore uncool influences on their sleeve. The Homosexuals weren't afraid to be overtly pschedelic, experimental or silly. They were never boring and never gave a fuck about anyone else as far as I can see. They hardly sold any records back then and didn't seem to give a shit. I think they were only ever reveiwed once in the UK media! They can be heard just enjoying themselves and the company they were in, on their records. Joyous! No major labels here! No recording budgets either.

GOLD!

I got this triple cd 8 or 9 years ago and it still excites me to this day. I'm not even sure I've got to cd3 yet, the rest is so good. This is art as pure as it comes!
