Tears for Fears vs. Jawbox

July 3rd, 2009 by
In 1993 Tears for Fears released the track "Break it Down Again". One year later Jawbox's amazing song "Savory" hit MTV. Although the Tears track lacks the same hypnotic grind there are some similarities that I cannot deny.

    @t. mohney Yeah, I admit this one is definitely a stretch. I love both of these songs and whenever I hear one I can’t help thinking of the other though.

    I don’t think these two sound the same, but “Savory” has always reminded me of Brian Eno’s “Sky Saw:” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHqStOIwl-E
