Kitchens of Distinction - Drive That Fast (120 Minutes, taped in 1991)

This time, quite underrated british band, which never had a luck to gain as much popularity as they  deserved. Founded in 1986, the band debuted in 1987 while their first release "Love is Hell" saw light of a day two years later. This particular video "Drive That Fast", one of their most well-known songs  appeared on their 2nd LP, "Strange Free World", and was tapes from 120 Minutes at the moment of its release (1991). Their catalogue was dominated by such poetic songs and powerful ballads.
Close resemblance to The Cure and Cocteau Twins styles may be clearly seen here, while Kitchens of Distinction's guitarist, Julian Swales, additionally cited Robert Fripp's and The Edge's guitar styles and experiments as his main inspiration. Trivia: band's name, "Kitchens of Distinction", was randomly chosen from the add campaign, while in their former years they used more funny name "Toilets of Distinction".
Basic data:
british band, founded in 1986, Tooting,
line-up: Patric Fitzgerald - voc,b; Julian Swales - g; Daniel Goodwin - dr,
studio discography: Love is Hell, 1989; Strange  Free World, 1991; The Death of Cool, 1992, Cowboys and Aliens, 1994; Folly, 2013.
