## I found The Fall through a friend

She happened to share their cover of <b>The Kinks</b> <i>'Victoria'</i>, and I love the original, so I checked out the band, and have been a fan ever since. Around that same time, I had started branching out from punk and hardcore into post-punk and post-hardcore (though those two genres came at different times), as I wanted more experimentation, and realized that all the punk bands and musicians I liked also wanted that at the time, and went their own directions, creating all sorts of interesting and new bands and sounds. <b>The Fall</b> has a pretty varied discography; they have that stark, dark sort of early post-punk stuff, but also poppier ideas, some weird, noisey stuff and everything between. Today's song is from their 1986 album <i>Bend Sinister</i>, and has always been a favorite of mine. It's essentially just a catchy little rock tune, but with a really cool little synth line (I think it's a synth anyway), which gives it just enough weirdness, hehe.</div>
