☼ 1919 - Machine



There's really no way around the fact that on this mLP, 1919 is completely doing Killing Joke. You'll find yourself singing the lyrics to KJ songs while listening to this LP --"the Wardance... the Wardance..."
I would say their 'influences' are Killing Joke, early Siouxsie (minus Siouxsie of course) and a smidgen of PIL tossed in for good measure. That doesn't mean I don't like 1919. They're great! -- Hell, the song "The Scream" actually sounds similar to KJ's song North of the Border off Extremities -- "scrape... my... nails... across a brick." and that came out 10 years after 1919's "Machine" so, there's a lot of interchange going on between these two bands. KJ and 1919 played quite a few gigs together, so one can only speculate. 1919 also played supporting Danse Society and Playdead, while Southern Death Cult and New Model Army supported 1919. It was just a big happy family. (I think Steve Albini took one listen to the guitar in "The Ritual" and thought, "Hey, I could make a band called Big Black with that sound!"☺)
Anywho, I think their collective CD of 7''s & 12''s is still available, so if you like this little taste, please buy the CD.
