It's not a crime to have heroes, but if you never ever look back, then you'll never ever see that We Are Living.

What's all this then?

Hullo - welcome to my *slightly* obsessive memorial to These Animal Men, a cruelly overlooked band, victims of the medias New-Wave-of-oh-please-just-fuck-off fad building, but still remembered with wide-pupilled glee by many, many sharp kids if all the mails I get are anything to go by.

It'd be good to know what you think too, so please do contact me and say hi after you've had a poke around.
