Joy Division

Joy-Rides
From: United Kingdom

I stumbled upon Joy-Rides while wandering aimlessly around Last.FM looking for music that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

They've been wandering the mean streets of dear ol' blighty for nigh on five years putting the mental in experimental and forcing their noisy post punk clatter into the heads of anyone who gets in their way.

The Devil's favourite track the awe inspiring Bishop Of Southwark sounds like The Fall having a nervous breakdown and would be a shoe-in for the top ten of John Peel's festive fifty if it was still running.

Within the last couple of weeks Joy-Rides have changed their name to The Cadillacs (a name they share with a Harlem doo wop group of the 1950s). I don't know whether this is merely a change of band name or whether there has been any change in personnel or sound because there is no information on the Cadillacs myspace site at all. I for one hope that it's nothing more than a change of name and that the Cadillacs continue churn out inventive, interesting and intriguing songs like Bishop of Southwark.
