 	SHRIEKBACK:  In one short sentence, I'd say they sound like a
synthesized Gang Of Four.  Actually at least one member of Shriekback 
is an ex-member of Gang Of Four.  I happened to pick up their first
album by chance.  I found it in a bargain bin at Target for $2.50.
What a deal!  Back to the music... The first side of the album is real
good.  A couple of songs you may have heard are 'My spine is the baseline'
and 'All lined up'.  The second side doesn't go anywhere.  Shriekback's
style can be described as serious dance music.  They are not a synthesizer
pop band like Human League.  Their music is not romantic, soft like Simple
Minds'.  But they do play some good music.  Shriekback has a second album
out now.  I haven't heard it so I don't know if they have made any big
changes to their musical style.  Personally I prefer Simple Minds.
