HDU Review From British Fest
Tue 30 Apr 2002 @ 11:59 AM NZDT
This just in from Turbine Crew from a British site who were at the festival 'All Tomorrow's Parties' event:
Can't dance to the High Dependency Unit, mind you, but that's not really a problem. You might be thinking from the name alone that they make filthy scuzzy heroin music, and to be honest you'd have a point. However, there's rather more to them than that, given how convincingly they fill the yawning chasm between Sigur Ros and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with their exaggerated guitar runs, fuggy drums and beautiful sculpture and, frankly, we feel rather foolish for never having explored them before. The best band we've heard from New Zealand bar none, and the revelation of the weekend.
it's REALLY wicked how there's all these un-radio un-mainstream bands out there in the wild wild world doing really important great music and before we know it there's a revolution and all the dross is up against the wall getting the shmulz kicked out of it

I envy those hard ass mfers. Bring it on! (not the movie, the revolution).
This is from the NME:
The most talked about un known acts at ATP
