Shriekback: Care (Y Records 502)
Mark Cooper, Record Mirror, 26 March 1983
GETTING A fix on these boys is like loading mercury with a pitchfork. Shriek back won't stand still! Curiosity is hard to cage and Shriekback are curious above all. Relatively faceless but possessed of interesting pedigree (from Gang Of Four to XTC), Shriekback offer no manifesto, no clearcut packaging. Instead, they experiment. They play with everything, then edit the results. And, they have good taste.
