Always Crush Me
Bob Pollard has some interesting things to say in this pre-Bee Thousand 1993 interview from Terrascope:
So what bands have inspired you, and who would you claim to be influences?
Oh, 60s bubblegum because I was a kid. Freakbeat bands of the post-'Sgt Pepper' 60s, like Wimple Winch, Tomorrow, the Nice, the Godz. Early 70s power pop like Big Star, Cheap Trick. Late 70s post-punk - Wire, XTC, Nightingales, Buzzcocks. All the Flying Nun shit and right now the Grifters are highly inspirational to me. 'One Sock Missing' is the best.
