Un Vie

Deranged rock. Violently deranged rock. This succinct description, and everything it stands for, is possibly how you'd best want to define the hybrid music of Programme. It doesn't take long to notice that this duo gives full rein to rhythms and sequences that seem to have been hauled through the devil's own sonic deconstructer after having been pulled to pieces, examined, and put back together again. Why? No doubt for exactly the same reasons that saw the explosive birth of Suicide and the Sex Pistols in '76 / '77: you can never make a serious attack on your era without beginning by rejecting, deconstructing or outraging the musical syntax of your elders.
