History Invades

Label: Lujo
Genre: Rock

What's the difference between History Invades and any other post-punk band with that frenetic, angular sound you either love or hate? THE COMPUMAN. Who dat, you ask? Not so much a "who" as a "what" or a monolithic "it." If there is a recurring theme to the song titles, lyrics, and moods found on History Invades' The Structure of a Precise Fashion it's THE COMPUMAN: the band's embodiment of the pervasive hand of multinational corporations, monopolies, and omnimedia...real upbeat kinda stuff. So, while Bloc Party use their tense rhythms and wiry guitar licks as a stark backdrop to warm, human emotions, History Invades use similar techniques to sound a warning cry — which comes out as cheeky yet ominous refrains like, "Make room for computer know-how..." Have a nice weekend.
