Soot and Stars
I AM SOOT!
An English band that I like, that no one else seems to like (or even know about) was called Curve.
Pioneers of the electronica and trip-hop styles of the 90's, it's been claimed that their hiatus in the mid 90's gave rise to Garbage, in the same way that Crosby, Stills, & Nash's hiatus made room for other harmony-based groups such as The Eagles and America.
Toni Halliday of Curve: "In a way it's very flattering to be tied in with... Garbage. But eventually Garbage are a pop band, and Curve were never a pop band."
Well, for "not a pop band", they sure have plenty of hooks in their songs.
Curve have released 5 full-lengh albums and as many EP's.
Alligator's Getting Up (1998)
Super Blaster (1993)
Well now you aren't the only fan. I'd heard the name before but never heard them. Damn, you could've said this was Garbage and I would've bought it hook, line and sinker. This is as a Garbage fan who owns all their albums.
