A Belgian band that mixed punk, rock, and funk into a hard-to-pin-down sound.
For a quick sense of their tone, 'Admiral For President' is the obvious pick. But 'I'd Much Rather Go Out With The Boys' gives you a different angle on their sound.
They had a knack for songs that stuck around as cult favorites, even when they ruffled feathers. 'Admiral For President' parodied a presidential campaign in 1992 and drew criticism for how it treated politics. That song, along with tracks like 'I'd Much Rather Go Out With The Boys' and 'Wild Dreams Of New Beginnings,' shows a band that wasn't afraid to be a little messy or provocative.
They came together in the 1980s around a frontman using Admiral Freebee as a persona. The band kept performing and putting out music through the 1990s despite label issues and internal problems, with songs like 'Afterglow' and 'Always On The Run' in their catalog.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
