X - "Suck Suck" From the album X-Aspirations (January 1980)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

"At about the same time as the Los Angeles band X was hiring civil liberties lawyers to keep the police from bashing in the heads of their fans, an Australian band who knew nothing of the American X's existence was laying down hard and primitive chords under the same name. The black-and-white cover of their debut album X-Aspiratons also featured a large letter X that seemed to be burning: 1979 must've been a big year for crosses on fire. It was a time in music when traditions were gleefully burned. (Australian) X sing about 'Delinquent Cars' and how much of a waste going out at night is, in sore-throated shouts over groaning bass chords, incessant drum beats, and fuzzy drips of melodious guitar. Their lyrics are light-hearted but not light-headed, and their sound is almost primitive, echoed drum pulse and harmony-less singing. Most Americans never got to hear the stop-and-start deep surf chords of their 'Batman' or the crawlingly slow slink of their bass. But then, most Americans never got to hear any of the noncommercial music of the late '70's. . . ."

--Andrea Enthal, Spin Magazine, December 1986

30 years passed, yet I never forgot this passage, or this band, and now I've finally heard them. It was pretty much worth the wait. ---
