Zoo

Ceremony, “Zoo” (Metador)
Along with the Men, another group exploring hard-assed late-80s post-punk/HC sounds, less melodic than the Men, but more sinuously malevolent, and very good as well. These guys really have some swing in their sound, like they took their Gang of Four records seriously, but also in the sense that their songs swing around and whack you upside the head when you’re not expecting it.
