Richmond VA isn't known for a whole lot, at least in my meagre brain, but they did provide to the world one of the great 'post-punk' (and god is that such a meaningless term) bands of my generation in Honor Role. not content w/ following the blueprint laid down by the close-to-home harDCore bands of Dischord etc, they relied on intricate guitar patterns of pen rollings and the earnest shout/sing style of bob schick.
once that band split (a few singles, an lp - all tidily collected on one cd i highly recommend), pen formed various bands of interest, while bob came up w/ Coral. and that's the band we've got today. this is from their 1st single, an early one on Mac's Merge label. a killer. (note - this selection was inspired by brungeman's posts of last week).

(ok, i couldn't find any pictures of Coral or Schick, so google images led me to this photo of a house owned by a Bob Schick).
