Sticks ART | ms

PRIMEAVAL TRIO FROM BRIGHTON,UK on Upset The Rhythm Records `The Sticks, in short, champion the analog, the home-made and the D.I.Y., drawing inspiration equally from mid-60s garage bands and late 70s post-punk. Theirs is the sound of the resolutely untrained (non) musician, all for improvisation and spontaneity, but wary of self-indulgence and pretension. Some may label them Luddites, but I suspect they'd wear that badge with pride.` -Ben Graham www.myspace.com/thsticks (there is more than one artist with this name) .

UK post punk/deathrock band active in the late 80s. .

Power-pop/punk/new-wave outfit who emerged from the late 70's Vancouver Hardcore scene (DOA, Subhumans). Only lasted for 3 years and one studio release yet remain one of the most influential music acts from the period. .
