Strangled chrome prongs


As I wrote on the other side, there was a rumour yesterday that Pushead would be on campus. Rumour proved to be false, but it had me dig up a few Prong albums to listen to. He did the cover of Beg to Differ and designed the cover concept for Prove You Wrong. That last album has an excellent cover of the Stranglers' Get A Grip. It's completely different to the rest of the album. Was just browsing around allmusic.com for them and discovered that the final (live) track on Beg to Differ actually is a cover too! It's Third from the Sun, originally by Chrome. Can't say I've heard of Chrome. Having looked them up, it's not that strange. Industrial with the last real album in 1982 when I was ten. Don't think I'd heard of industrial by then :)
