Song of the Day: Drive Like Jehu - Here Come the Rome Plows

     We're going to shift gears slightly this evening, going from the hardcore of yesterday's Burning Empires song to the wacky post-hardcore of Drive Like Jehu, a band I'm much less familiar with than I should be... for now...



     Your song today is "Here Come the Rome Plows" from Drive Like Jehu's second and final album, 1994's Yank Crime. If you've never heard Drive Like Jehu, think At The Drive-In's artsier, spazzier cousin (and I mean that in a good way). Just like ATDI, they were ahead of their time, the called it quits ahead of their time, and their impact is still being felt in modern music in 2013. Don't believe me? Listen, and judge for yourself.
