Episode 174 - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture by Brainiac w/ Ferruccio Quercetti

<p class="" data-pm-slice="0 0 []">Our good friend Ferruccio Quercetti returns this week, nominating Brainiac’s third and final album, Hissing Prigs in Static Couture.</p> <p class="">Over the course of their five year career, Brainiac recorded three albums and two EPs as well as a bunch of singles. They’re widely recognised as being one of the most influential post punk/noise rock/experimental rock bands of all time. So much so in fact that a documentary about them was released in 2019. Titled <em>Transmissions After Zero</em> it’s a pretty candid look at the life of the band, from their beginnings until their eventual disbandment after the death of front man Tim Taylor in 1997.</p> <p class="">Loads of folk in that documentary talk about how influential this band were, and if you google their name you’ll find many more besides.</p> <p class="">On this episode, we talk about all of their albums, the influence of the band and of course, Ferro puts forward his case as to why Hissing Prigs deserves a place in our discography.
