Having listened to SO36, Geordie sounds pretty good!

Totally - the whole band, at that time, were fucking TOP NOTCH. Stuff like Love/Electric, etc, means they've not been taken seriously since (& I can understand why), but back then, Brothers Grim ep, etc - great stuff! I have the video of that gig - I think it can be found on p2p these days.
