Stockholm Monsters "National Pastime" Review

STOCKHOLM MONSTERS: National Pastime 
(Factory)

Dark, doomy, depressing ... just a few of the qualities the Stockholm Monsters do not possess, further emphasising just how inaccurate most peoples’ idea of Factory Records has become. The Stockholm Monsters always put me in mind of The Move before they discovered heavy metal, all regency horns and rushing drums. The indulgences that the sales of ‘Blue Monday’ allowed Factory to make in tolerating their less successful acts are looking to have been worthwhile.
