Sniff
So, let's get back to Music that I Like for an entry.

There's a band from England called Sniff 'n' The Tears. You may not have heard of them. In fact, I'd be really surprised if you know who the hell I'm talking about.

But you've probably heard their one US hit, "Driver's Seat," from back in 1978. Yes, about the same time as Bob Geldof was rocking with The Boomtown Rats. So I'm old. So sue me.

Point is, as it turns out, the band did other music. Quite a few albums, actually. Here's one you don't hear:



Bonus: The lead singer, Paul Roberts, is also an accomplished painter. Most of their album covers, he painted. Here's a link to his art

This one, especially, I don't know why it's not hanging in my house RIGHT THE HELL NOW (no nudity in this one; just awesomeness):

So anyway, there's my Obscure British Band for the day.
