(Indie Rock /Post Punk) The Stones - Three Blind Mice [Anthology] - 2015, MP3, 320 kbps

We are pleased to announce the release of Three Blind Mice, a compilation from Flying Nun originals, The Stones due out March 3. Three Blind Mice includes the bands' contribution to the legendary Dunedin Double, Another Disc Another Dollar EP as well as never heard before live recordings.
Curated by New Zealand/Noise legend Bruce Russell (The Dead C, Xpressway Records), liner notes by Shayne Carter (Straightjacket Fits, Bored Games), design and illustrations from Alec Bathgate + Chris Knox and mastered by Tex Houston (The Clean, 3Ds, Subliminals).
"The Stones were birthed by singer/guitarist Wayne Elsey’s decision to quit Bored Games to start a band that sounded like The Clean. Their debut came on the 25th April 1981 at an Otago University, a gig headlined by Bored Games (Shayne Carter) and new comers The Chills and Verlaine’s (a line up which in retrospect, would make any Flying Nun/low fi pop fan drool). Elsey’s vision for a band that sounds like The Clean didn’t really come to fruition. The Stones were too bright to not to create their own sound, one wrapped in braggadocio and swagger. Fast, aggressive guitars, driving rhythm section with a knack for fluid pop structures. Charismatic and smart, The Stones had the ability to sound completely empathetic and threatening all at once." - Shayne P. Carter.
