Their most iconic moment has to be “Just Like Honey”, a song that still captures their mix of noise and melody perfectly. The song came out of Scotland with this noisy yet soft sound that felt new to everyone. Jim and William Reid kept things simple but bold, mixing feedback with sweet melodies. Some controversy came when fans and venues criticised their loud, chaotic shows, including the time they famously played facing the back of the stage. Critics praise them for creating a fresh, raw sound that influenced countless alternative and indie bands that followed.
