"It's all over now...Rock 'n' Roll is shit. It's dismal. Granddad danced to it. I'm not interested in it..I think music has reached an all-time low - except for The Raincoats."

That's one of the most blithely hyperbolic Johnny Rotten quotes, the kind that kept NME and Melody Maker all a-tingle for a good decade or so. While I'm not quite ready to sub London's Wetdog for the sublime Raincoats, I can definitely relate to Mr. Lydon's excitement at hearing the scraping and mewling of the new. "8 Days" has a simplicity and a lived-in newness that's both disarming and pleasantly off-putting, and I don't mind admitting that I'm a complete sucker for the British female voice. Their set was the centerpiece of one of my most enjoyable nights out in Albion, and I hope this song can do the same for you now.

Sounds Like: The Raincoats, Liliput, The Slits, The Fall
