Agitpop, On The Hudson, Cabaret Voltaire, DAW07

A Shotgun for a TV and an Eskimo Kiss

Agitpop (USA)
Agitpop's intial song material is heavily indebted to, if slightly to the right of (aesthetically) the Minutemen and Gang of Four. Agitpop operated on the age-old principle of "free your ass and your mind will follow." The thing is, unlike the bulk of their boho brethren, Agitpop navigates those hip joints as though they were doctors of chiropractic. Odd instruments such as wind chimes, squeeze toys and kiddie xylophones make abrupt appearances, adding a sinister edge to the already chilling lyrics that come over with the glee of someone sending pals off on a killer scavenger hunt. All three members of Agitpop switch between instruments with exponentially increased dexterity in endless androgynous roles of noise making.
