Reef was a band that seemed to have passed me by, but I've just remedied that.
I was watching my recording of last night's CH4 "Derry Girls" and while the music in all 3 series has been uniformly excellent this track instantly grabbed me. I didn't even know who was playing, but a quick trip to Google via my Chromebook soon remedied that.
I don't know how I missed them, because they tick a lot of boxes for me. They certainly rock, and having listened to the live version of this track, and seen some video of them too, they can play a bit too. Gary Stringer has a somewhat "individual" voice, although its eccentricities seem less pronounced in a live setting. It may wear on me after a while, but in case it doesn't they've a new album out in 2 days time, produced by Duran Duran / Power Station guitarist Andy Taylor, who also plays live with them.
Anyway, here it is, in album format, and live.
Same song, live, but the versions were recorded 20 years apart.
