Garcia sees the trend. But more important, he says, it’s about each artist finding his own voice. “Music has to be an honest extension of someone’s story,” Garcia says. “I found myself using my music heroes as my muses. When it came time to style my songs, they were part of my conscience.”

Distorted guitars, sauntering and reverberating bass, tunes are just-barely containing an explosive amount of energy underneath itself – and that tension is nothing less than thrilling.

I played this song in the radio show and since then it seems that has resurrected as Jesus Christ on those days of magic. Its seems it was very controversial in its time when all the Christians raged against the band in the USA. The single was very popular. XTC was a British band that started back in 1976 and lasted on and off until 2005. Their style combined different kinds of music including funk, folk, punk, new,wave, ska and even reggea.
