The Smog - Set In Stone

    

  The Smog (https://www.facebook.com/The-Smog-100786935341887/) are a 3 piece from Osaka, Japan and amongst the list of influences on the Bandcamp page are the likes of The Fall, Wire, Outsiders and Desperate Bicycles. They released a couple of highly praised singles, In The Wasteland and Accelerator (Check 'em out here : https://thesmog3.bandcamp.com/). 

  Wowing the critics for a third consecutive time is a new 7", their best yet, which is available on vinyl (ltd to 500 copies of which 150 are red) from Going Underground Records

  I listed a few influences earlier and as you listen to the song that you'll find below, you'll hear a couple more. There's a definite nod in the direction of Girls At Our Best's Getting Nowhere Fast at the start before Gang of Four style staccato guitar work kicks in. Whilst definitely wearing their 80's influences proudly upon their sleeves they still manage to sound fresh and very catchy indeed. This is Set In Stone...
