Biba's Basement from The Thrashing Doves (1986) (7'').

This song is by Thrashing Doves and appears on the album Bedrock Vice (1987).

While Bedrock Vice may seem genial on the surface, the Thrashing Doves slide dark narratives underneath the rollicking music. In "Rochdale House," for example, a boy sells his body to a businessman for drugs while "Killer for You" has a man robbing a bank to impress a girl. However, the Thrashing Doves are unable to sustain Bedrock Vice's initial pace. Once "Biba's Basement" is over, the group sounds drained.
