The Snake Corps - Flesh On Flesh

From the ashes of Sad Lovers And Giants, Snake Corps was the brainchild of Tristan Garel-Funk and Nigel Pollard.  With the exit of Pollard, Marc Lewis was recruited to do vocals.  Though infused throughout with atmospheric and brooding guitar, Snake Corp ended up having a harder-edged post-punk sound than others in the genre. The more prominent guitar gives Flesh On Flesh a sound that is often reminiscent of mid-period Siouxsie And The Banshees but always remains its own thing. This album is everything I liked about Sad Lovers And Giants with more guitar, which lends it a tougher sound most of the time. Though popular in continental Europe, Snake Corps never found much of an audience in their home U.K. or in the United States.  That's a shame because Snake Corps are one of those rare groups that were remarkably consistent. The songs as a whole are catchy and wonderfully rhythmic with soaring, swirling guitars.
