The first hails from Black Sea, a US-based four piece post-punk band who releaed just one (appropriately titled) LP in 1990. The band formed in New Jersey and had a sound comparable with early Cure, The Lucy Show, The Church, etc. with a slightly harder edge. The LP was released on a small label, the local No. 6 Records, but distributed by Rough Trade, which no doubt earned the band a small cult following.\u00a0 Wonder if they ever ran into Screaming For Emily, as both bands share similar sounds and hail from the same state&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Various sources allude to another released track, on a C&#8217;est La Morte compilation, but I can&#8217;t seem to confirm it for sure. Feel free to drop a line if anyone has any further information on these guys.
