Elastica

Elastica's debut album may cop a riff here and there from Wire or the Stranglers, yet no more than Led Zeppelin did with Willie Dixon or the Beach Boys with Chuck Berry. The key is context. Elastica can make the rigid artiness of Wire into a rocking, sexy single with more hooks than anything on Pink Flag ("Connection") or rework the Stranglers' "No More Heroes" into a more universal anthem that loses none of its punkiness ("Waking Up"). But what makes Elastica such an intoxicating record is not only the way the 16 songs speed by in 40 minutes, but that they're nearly all classics. The riffs are angular like early Adam & the Ants, the melodies tease like Blondie, and the entire band is as tough as the Clash, yet they never seem anything less than contemporary. Justine Frischmann's detached sexuality adds an extra edge to her brief, spiky songs — "Stutter" roars about a boyfriend's impotence, "Car Song" makes sex in a car actually sound sexy, "Line Up" slags off groupies, and "Vaseline" speaks for itself. Even if the occasional riff sounds like an old wave group, the simple fact is that hardly any new wave band made records this consistently rocking and melodic.

你去看看他们一起演出的视频，相信金牙弹奏键盘的方式会让你再次怀疑他的年龄，看起来简直像是Elastica在雇用童工。

在britpop最辉煌的那些年里，有这么一支在风格上相对边缘化、但参与度很高的另类乐队，后半句说的一半是贾姨Justine Frischmann的情史，一半说的是他们用结合了朋克和新浪潮的音乐，丰富了当时的音乐场景，也以三女一男的人员构成定义了另一种“酷”；金牙Damon还在这首歌里贡献了键盘演奏，这里要推荐
