wow... what a rarity! a cool group doing new wave in the fuckin 90s! I was searching for this sound but I did only find some industrial eggs that time.
The were in a class of their own. Of their contemporaries, only Arab on Radar could possibly compare. All of their LPs from the original line-up are essential listening. My personal fave is Law of Ruins.
The latest one, with the semi-reunited band, is a bit of a disappointment.
@SuperMario16bit I saw Brainiac 3 times between '92 and '95. Great onstage, yet I only owned one 7inch by them-need to get a full length still. I read that the guy who ran Grass (Brainiac's 1st label) wound up working for the majors and signed Creed (the shitty one not Helios).
Camille Sciara ran grass records and was very, very faithful to her bands. In 1994, Grass was bought out by a branch of BMG that later turned Grass into Wind-up records. They fired the entire staff, dropped all the bands and signed Creed and Evanscence. There you go. Greatest label of the 90's turned to shit overnight.
@v1switch The weird thing is that I read that the guy who signed Creed was in one of the bands on the Grass roster. I can't remember what the name of that band was but this guy was dropping names like Nation Of Ulysses and Ornette Coleman I believe. I thought it was really bizarre that someone who knew that much about music would be involved in signing perhaps the worst music ever imaginable.
@deathmetaldouglas69 I hadn't heard that. I can't remember anyone from any specific bands actually working for Grass (I remember that being more common at Homestead), but it's entirely possible. By the time Creed came around, we'd been long dropped and had no connection with the label, so I didn't hear anything.

The Big Black comparisons are bogus and I don't really remember anyone making any mention of that when this came out. What this really sounded like was Chrome from '77/'78 when Helious Creed had just joined. I even fooled some Helious heads by telling them it was a lost Chrome demo. They knew about 6FS and I still fooled them.
I would start with the Touch and Go (Big Black's second label ironically enough) 1991 CD rerelease of both Alien Soundtracks/Half Machine Lip Moves LP's from '78. These have the raspy lo-fi element of "Severe Exposure" yet musically there is common ground with later stuff from '82 like "3rd From The Sun" LP, "Fire Bomb" single, "Chronicals I" LP, etc. The band must have lived in the studio in '82 because they recorded & released like 6 albums or more.
I missed 6FS so much. Only saw them once at Pearl Street in Northampton So glad they are playing in Brooklyn in August. Fucking insane. They were my favorite band in college.
I'm gonna go into the kitchen and break something.
And it's all this video's fault.

I hear a lot of comparisons to Big Black from people, but I feel like they're in their own league.

@DeathMetalDouglas68 Could you recommend a Chrome album to check out? Anything that sounds like this is something I'd want to check out.

I think Helios Creed's first four solo records might interest you as well (the only ones I've heard so far).
