In this episode, Tegwen, Mark and I continue our discussion with Side B of the post-punk gothic masterpiece, Shaded Pain by the Lifesavers Underground. If you haven’t listened to the first half of this chat, be sure to stop right now and go listen to Episode 025 - Lifesavers Underground - Shaded Pain - Part 1 first and then come back to finish up here. If you’ve never heard of Lifesavers Underground (L.S.U) but like Bahaus, Peter Murphy, The Mission UK and bands of that ilk, you should definitely check them out. Thanks so much for joining us!

Tegwen’s Post Punk Checklist:

-Drony vocals

-Screechy feedback guitars, not played for precision ,

-Played for vibes, strummed repetitive guitars

-Sick baseline, but not necessarily noticed, yet still drives the song- energetic

-Allows you to dance to it

-Mix of drum machine, tinny echoey sound, slightly erratic live drums

-Creating a Phil Spectory wall of sound

-Very produced but not polished- lots of effects on 11 with echo/ reverb
