Leader Matthew Bannister's songs may have been a little too savvy for the gritty underground sound of Straightjacket Fits or the Gordons, and likewise too quirky for the mainstream that embraced Crowded House and Split Enz.
For being somewhat of a cult title in the underground for two decades, Waiting for Touchdown is a highly crafted and beautiful collection of guitar pop songs, exhibiting a sound and sensibility that would crop up much later in the U.K. indie sound of Arab Strap and Belle & Sebastian.
