This may be down to the fact that most of their time is spent in our nations capital, under the guidance of the ultra-hip Cool for Cats records. As soon as the opening bars strike of their first proper recording '...Fruits' their influences are there for all to hear.
Sounding very much like the Fall in their hayday, especially if Mark E Smith had've hailed from the other side of the Pennines, the NeaT's brand of post punk is nothing ground-breaking, but their ability to encapture listeners with the combination of quaking drumbeats and rumbling basslines is quite something to behold... Give most recent single 'In Youth Is Pleasure' a listen to catch the NeaT at their riveting best.
