Great band... Managed to catch them at TT the Bears (Cambridge, MA) when they did their US tour. They put on a great show. Gave me handful of badges for free too. Guess they wanted to spread the word...

Paul Resende's vocals always reminded me a bit of Stooges era Iggy...

I saw them once here in England a few years back. Great that SILT has got some tracks on here.

I agree with Tim, he does sound like early Iggy... very good thing! This is good stuff Eric, thanks.

I saw them in Chicago in 03 when they played the Metro. They sounded alright but the crowd really wasn't digging them and then Rocket From The Crypt came on stage and blew all traces of them from memory.

C&B remains one of my absolute faves of the last five/so years. They benefitted from the halo of Wire's reformation (and the Strokes) but that first record holds up. "One Note" is glorious.

" then Rocket From The Crypt came on stage and blew all traces of them from memory."

yeah, RFTC seemed to do that everytime. their last show was a blast, worth all the money of going cross country.
