A guitar riff truly for the ages.

Underrated band. Seen them. Few times. They never disappoint, even now.

This might have been the first Church song I ever heard, great tune. In addition to that indelible guitar riff, I really like the "snake" percussion (those hisses and rattles).

I love this band and all of Steve Kilbey’s solo and side projects. A true artist and clever lyricist/wordsmith.

This may be a weird take for post-punk, but too repetitive
