I loved the song in the previous clip and thought I would share a bit about them. I find it interesting to hear this *sound* in a lot of newer bands; it has kind of a quasi futuristic retro vibe. I really dig it

Taken from the information on the youtube video:

1988’s CRASH, was The Primitives most successful of their singles from their first album, LOVELY. It earned them a UK Top 5 hit (and made the U.S. Top 3). This was a great achievement for an indie band from Coventry, England. The album, Lovely is considered by many as one of the top Indie Pop albums of that era and has influenced many other commercial and indie artists.

The Primitives broke up in 1992. Unbeknown to them; Crash was remixed and showed up on the soundtrack for the film, Dumb and Dumber. The “95 Mix”, as it was called, was given slicker, more commercialized production including additional guitars, percussion, organ and backing vocals. These additions were performed by faceless studio musicians and not by The Primitives.

And here is the video to the song:

You can go to a good fansite by clicking here. It has info on the band, plus a bunch of MP3’s to download..and that is always a good thing. Free Music For the Win!
