There was a band in the 80s called Cant. Don't know anything about them, I only remember a two-word J Burchill review in the NME: "Cant won't."

ban this sick stunt (anagram), Thursday, 7 July 2011 14:41 (thirteen years ago)

I thought Failure did okay.

The one that makes me laugh really hard are the absolutely 100% humour-free avant-black metal band Weakling.

Post-Manpat Music (dog latin), Thursday, 7 July 2011 14:42 (thirteen years ago)

I also thought Failure did ok.

The Outfield (the only time you hear them is as walk-on music for random outfielders like Frank Catalanotto and Mark Kotsay)

frogbs, Wednesday, 3 August 2011 13:50 (thirteen years ago)
