That voice...coming out of that guy! An important video in that you get a good look at the guy some of the times he sings the one line of this song. Yes, that GUY. The fact that its a guy and he looks like the accountant down the block make it all even more AMAZING, since I am finding am not alone in thinking for 20 years there was the unaccredited female lead singer.
isnt that an awesome feeling, ged, when you discove a rare gem like this from a pretty much unknown band? i had that experience with "coming into focus" by For Love Not Lisa many years ago. For Against's songs online are very enjoyable for me. i like them. i think their most recent album was 2005, so maybe they are still around and you may hear more from them.
Actually they had a record that just came out "Shade Side Sunny Side". They are kicking off their tour tonight in Lincoln, Nebraska...they will also play here again next Friday before heading off to Europe.
its was difficult finding it becuase the name of the band is The Echelons. Autocrat is the name of the song. for against is the album. It would be nice if you can post "Its a lie' video. I havent seen that one. I only have both tracks. heard them on kxlu 88.9 in la back in 1987
Wow I remember buying there lp`s at little record shop in Hoboken NJ called "Pier Platters". The LP came with cool dried flowers. I couldnt believe that they were from Nebraska with the sound they have.
i cant explain my love for this song! does anyone have the mp3 file for this song? im going crazy!

I have to say that, I suppose the definition of "Dream Pop" may be a bit elusive, but Trendies offered a bit of the this sort of thing from NE.

@CJARCHIVES Haha true that. I thought for a good minute that the singer was a female. That's just insane. Awesome music either way, but yeah haha.

I'd never heard of them until a few months ago when they played this video on a random satellite music channel.
I was so mesmerized I had to grab pen and paper and write down the songtitle and the name of the band.
Sorry to hear they never made it big.
Gonna look at other vids now and very possibly buy a record next time I'm in town!
Thanks for postin the vid :)
