These Animal Men – You’re Always Right
“You’re Always Right” is the lead song that starts off their EP “Taxi For These Animal Men”, and it is easily the best track off their album Come on Join the High Society.
While the UK cover to Society actually depicts and tells the story of the “High Society”, the US cover is Hooligan (yes, that’s the singer’s name) with an American Flag boxing glove. No idea who’s brilliant idea that was, but I thought it was a poor move.
These Animal Men (or TAM) are one of the few bands riding on the New Wave of New Wave, er, wave. NWONW also applied to S*M*A*S*H and Compulsion, and early Elastica and Sleeper.
Elastica and Sleeper eventually graduated to Britpop, but TAM never really seem to have made that transition :/
[this is good] …and Hooligan and Boag from TAM are back with new songs in their new band The Orphans. Two free songs are available from their site. And most importantly, their attitude is intact!
