"The You and What Army Faction" - the music of the crisis!

   I didn't know this band. They sound like every music i love and i'm happy that "raggedy" informed me about their work.     They come from Athens and everybody who's in love with the dark scene and no wave of the '80's should be happy that such a band is around. 

   Luckily for them they're not try to imitate some other band and allthough you can detect elements from no wave and the greek dark scene of the '80's, the personality of the band is strong enough to create a special sound which only belongs to them.

   They had a full album ("Fix") and an EP ("Vent") and now a 7" vinyl record called "Silk" is out with three new songs - twisted as their previous work! 

 

As i told the guys, i feel that they deserve a place in that long line of greek bands who created great dark experimental music since the beginning of the '80's.

It's not pleasant music for your ears but it's music that reflects all the paranoia of today's greek society and thus it's modern music.

i just remembered the title of an old work by some great greek artist and it seems to me that it can describe this band's music;     Backroom's Hell!!!
