Hüsker Dü didn't fade away. The latter-day sound of Bob Mould, Grant Hart and Greg Norton has been reborn in the form of the Gloucester trio known as Strain. Their debut on Springboard Records, No Butts or Luggs, is proof positive of that--and that's a comparison not to be bandied about lightly. The music is a potent mixture of punchy guitar attacks driven home by a sharp sense of lyrical wit and well-timed melodic executions. This isn't the snotty wanker punk of the likes of Green Day, this is the visceral explosion of a musically informed, smartly performed, well-oiled noise machine. | | Musical Influences : | | • Everything we've ever listened to... | | Brief Description : | | • I still think that snowboarders are twat-hatted trainspotters ... but Strain prove that three of them at least are capable of rocking like gods.

Strain’s music is probably better known than their name – which is bizarre but true – due to Strain tracks ‘appearing’ on almost every extreme sport programme on both domestic television and satellite and cable. Not forgetting that Strain songs have also featured on a host of videos, including snowboard action vids, the notorious ‘Berry on Bikes’, and five Strain songs are on the currently available Scooter Crazy video.
