Uncut — Those Who Were Hung Hang Here

Uncut ooze with glorious post-punk spunk on their debut album, Those Who Were Hung Hang Here. Founding member Ian Worang and his supporting cast (Jon Drew, Sam Goldberg and Derek Tokar) whip out rock-hard beats with a fair dose of pulsating, angular melodies and healthy spurts of distortion. If you roamed though the seamy alternative underbelly of ‘80s music, you’ll likely hear nothing new here. Nonetheless, tracks like "Understanding The New Violence" and "Day Breaks, Red Light" masterfully showcase an unsteady balance between order and nihilism, rekindling aural images of PiL’s edgy death disco or Joy Division’s early punk sound.
