I choose the Juju album by Siouxsie and the Banshees. The guitar work of the late John McGeoch was already burned into my head from his days with Magazine. His playing was atmospheric and aggressive, and combining it with the Budgie/Severin rhythm section made this album truly inspiring to me.
Then the next wave, when you had, say, Andy Gill from Gang of Four, Geordie Walker from Killing Joke, Keith Levene from Public Image Ltd, John McGeoch from Magazine & Siouxsie and the Banshees. That's when it got good. [...] then in America, the underground scenes started coming up with Black Flag and Hüsker Dü and Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Naked Raygun and Scratch Acid. And I said, 'Okay, now I see where I belong'. [...] Mixing the post-punk, minimalist thing with the more, shall we say, esoteric, porgy vibe, and that's where I'm coming from.
Anyway… bands that have always been at the core of our sound include the Melvins, Dazzling Killmen, Today is the Day, Drive Like Jehu, Kittens, the Jesus Lizard, Zeni Geva, Unsane, TAD, Black Flag, Bad Brains, etc.
We all have pretty different influences, which we try to bring together. Collectively, we are influenced by the Jesus Lizard.
