This is an honourary post to commemorate the work of The Rakes who split up a couple of weeks ago. Ok, so presumably we all know who The Rakes are; file this week's playlist track under the 'little known b-sides' category.
WHO? The Rakes
WHEN? Naughties
WHAT? Freshly disbanded purveyors of both sartorial elegance and taut, punky indie.
WHICH? 'Ausland Mission', b-side to 'Strasbourg' and 'Retreat'
WHY? Four chords, rough'n'ready production, swapped vocals and a lyric about escaping the Eastern Bloc!
