BootBlacks recently released a self titled EP that mixes the tense athmospheres of the British new wave of the early 80s (think Joy Division and Bauhaus) with the industrial clangor of industrial music. Those who dig this "post-punk, pre-goth" style should check these guys out because they have some really good songs, and lead singer Panther sounds like a new Nick Cave – whose original band Birthday Party also made music along similar coordinates. Check them out live at Public Assembly on Saturday 08.13.
