The Smog are a 3 piece post punk band from Osaka, Japan and amongst the list of influences on their Bandcamp page are the likes of The Fall, Wire, Outsiders and Desperate Bicycles.
They recently released a new 7" which many are saying is = their best yet and it is available from Going Underground Records
As well as the influences listed above, there is a definite nod in the direction of Girls At Our Best's Getting Nowhere Fast at the start before Gang of Four style staccato guitar work kicks in. Whilst definitely wearing their 80's influences proudly upon their sleeves they still manage to sound fresh and very catchy indeed.
This is Set In Stone
A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.
