The mighty STOOR have finally released their third album Fecund. If you're interested in original post-punk, hints of Wire, the Three Johns and Flying Nun, yet sounding not quite like any of that, it's available via Bandcamp now

Don't imagine my picks for

will make much impact. This one by four ex-Petrols really should have made a splash but somehow fell between the cracks. It's still worthy of investigation although only through Bandcamp.

Interesting detail in here that a) the trio actually did try to reunite for the Copper Blue tour that Bob ended up doing with Jason and Jon , b) HODM is an old song.
