RIP Steve Albini . Epic transformation from the original on this track . The wedding present wanted a harder edge , and he delivered. One of the best songs ever .

I just discovered this band. And I'm really disappointed. I'm disappointed that I went my whole life, when the 80s and 90s impacted me the most with music, and they never got in my path. I am absolutely obsessed with this song, and it now has a forever home in my playlist

The most underrated band ever.

Gedge, along with Nigel Blackwell of HMHB is one of the great unsung heroes of British popular culture

The near dead silence of the bridge with the strong guitar notes is gorgeous

Used to work with a guy called Michael Parker about 10 years ago, he told me about this band. I didn't get round to listening to them until now. Cheers Mike, wherever you are.

"It's hard to be engaging, when the things you love keep changing."

Saw this band over 100 times. Their live show was incredible!

Saw them live many, many years ago in UK (exchange student). The wall of swirling guitars + many pints of snakebites + mosh pit = absolute mad house.

What a classic. Loughborough UNI SU, 1989. Best gig I ever went to. I may still have the bruises.

Happy birthday brassneck.to think I've been listening to this track 33 yrs ago.wheres the time gone.and still great live after all these yrs.

An absolute masterclass in song writing. Heart breaking.

I forgot how bloody good this track is

Just a fucking brilliant band.

This really is in the running for the greatest music vid ever.

This Band, that song, those times... somehow this song keeps coming into my head. The words cement a feeling you get when love turns sour. The tune is so catchy, the band play to perfection and the vocal delivery hits a chord in my heart. All hail the Weddos

I saw the group 1988 in East Berlin. It was my best concert ever!

This is art, so fantasic and beautiful

I have no words for how much this song means to me since like the early 90ies. Thank you guys !!!

Was at a wedding when the DJ reluctantly played this. About 20 guys, all late 30s / early 40s chanting "I've just decided I don't THRUST you anymore" complete with pelvic thrusts.

In another universe, I'm still with the person who introduced me to The Wedding Present. KGP.

First saw them on itv chart show in the 80s singing why are you being so reasonable now...after that just fell in love with them 😁

i love Peter has a straight face the whole way through, then grins when he gets picked up. :D

So F good! Im mid 50, still listening this. And still jumping. Simply, no music such this today!

Ah... The sound track to mi adolescence! Goosebumps!

LOVE THE PUNKY GUITARS , FROM A PUNKY BAND 😊☮️☯️🏴‍☠️ ONE OF THE TOP INDIE BANDS OF THEIR TIME....BRASSNECK...!!

Excellent drum beat.

Wow!!! Absolutely love this, reminds me of being 12 and my older sister blasting it out.. Loved it then and still do

Absolutely brilliant.

This takes me back. Remember the first time i heard this and fell in love with the band and the music. Makes me want to jump around the room. Had the pleasure of seeing this band live a few times and thats somethiing i am glad about.

When I was a kid, my grandmother would put a medium sized bowl on my head and cut my hair around it. Looked like Gedge here. One of my favorite songs BTW

As the saying goes, everyone’s favourite second band. Long live The Weddos.

I've just discovered this song... already a classic for me. Great lyrics and that last section and its guitar - gorgeous!

Used to listen to this in 1989, but I've never seen this video!!

Full of energy Fantastic Thank you Wedding Present

Great song. This reminds me the music from the 80's-90's. Fantastic period ...

I bloody love this band.

I believe this was their first collaboration with Steve Albini. At the time I couldn't think of two more disparate parties to be working together. Time proved me wrong. Seamonsters was in my mind the best album ever.

Another good old blast from the past!!! Love it!!! ;) x

It is Sunday morning and this is JUST right.

It's hard to be engaging, when the things you love keep changing

Christ I miss Jangly Guitars and cutting lyrics

Love this. Reminds me of driving around London in 1990 in my piece of crap car, with the stereo worth more than the car, blasting Bizarro.

Love this video. Like a ballet version of a weddoes mosh pit. Happy memories!

Hello Mr Radford. This always reminds me of you.

I'll tell ya, I saw The Pressies at the Kilburn National in London, in November of 1989, and again at The Casbah in San Diego in mmmm...1994, I think it was. On this ocassion I sidled up to Gedge who was standing by the bar and asked him " Why did you sack Grapper?' He gave me a look and walked away.

Brilliant.....brilliant....brilliant.....what an opening track.....what a wonderful album..... Wow!!!!

What a voice.

Reminds me of the big break up of my life.I'm still just coming down really.

Top music 1st class 80s

One of their best, have this 7” numbered hand painted. Sad song 👌

Seen them live they were amazing!!!

This tune had been out a while, but I hadn't heard it. It was 1993, and my wife and I had split up for good, finally, after 15 years. I was not in a very good place, of course. I went into a record store (they still existed back then). I was thumbing through stacks, and I found this! It wasn't the story of what I was going through quite, but sometimes music will fit your sitch, even still. I played this quite a lot. Who was this band? I'd never heard of them out here in the middle of the southern Texas panhandle. No Google then . . .

Amazing song and band. The Husker Dü influence is very noticeable

The Wedding Present was far too cool for their time.

Take it away Grapper!!

Met David one time in templebar in Dublin. Around 97. I was on the hop from college. Good times.

i love his voice!

Damn John Hamm was a hell of a frontman

My high school teacher mr solowka is one of these members lol (Peter solowka)

Good memories of Blackburn and Maryport! :) Dom

Legendary status, long may they continue.

Damn some girl must have broke his heart to come out with this.

Wow. I'd forgotten all about this group and song! Loved it when it first came on TV back in the day.

The last great era of indie bands. Indie is just a description of bands in skinny trousers now. All signed to major labels. People consider Brit pop ( which I loathed ) as indie. Most of them were on major labels. Middle class, coffee table bands.

Great song. My dad has the album on vinyl, will have to dig it out and have a proper listen

Amazing

Very supercool stuff.... Loved this... Thanks for posting

Every hipster band from 2002-2009 tried very hard to sound exactly like this song.

this was my song when my 1st wife left me, helped me get thru some bad times, made me angry rather than sad, job done !

first track heard on a pub jukebox lovely

Yet another Classic..........

What a gift

I still have your autograph Dave, after these concerts in Rennes!!

Ahh… the wedding present. Memories!

Yip , magic -love vid 2

He is killing that guitar...

I got my best 2 mates on to The Wedding Present years ago. They still owe me back. To be fair, we've seen them together on many occasions.

Damn it Vevo! This video IS Fantastic. If I get Alzheimer's I hope this is the last song I remember. Edit 10/21. I stand by my comment, but tomorrow my aunt’s going into a memory care center. Whatever that does. So, kinda feel a bit callous. Sorry Sally. Miss you. Time, family, and Rock n Roll.

Cool Video

De Leeds, David Gedge, the guitars are fabulous, brillant band.

Eben entdeckt, macht einfach gute Laune

This band were Awesome

Taped this song off John Peel one blustery Wednesday. The tape has long since worn out and is currently in some landfill in China. Something today made me think of this song and it is so damn good to hear it again. Funny though, after all these years I had no idea what the Pressies looked like. Gedge is not what I expected

Loved this back when it was out but haven't heard it since then...it's 2022

PS: Crazy video, mind you!

Kind of like a revved up Joy Division. Very cool stuff.🔥

I have their whole library...Ace band🙌

Great riff.

lets set the scene 1989 park the bike,pub,lunch break,skinny kid puts 10p in duke box BRASS NECK!!!! Do the george best album...

watching the a word and this was played and i realised how much i fucking loved this band

The soundtrack to several disastrous relationships 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Wedding Present Always reminded me of the Kitchens of Distinction if KOD did power pop instead of their more etherealish sound.

Bizarro was my WP album, I know for many it was George Best.

Saw the WP in Leeds ( 1989/90??) fantastic stuff.

No, I sent you that letter To ask you if the end was worth the means Was there really no in between? And I still don't feel better I just wondered if it could be like before And I think you just made me sure! But then that's typically you And I might have been a bit rude But I wrote it in a bad mood I'm not being funny with you But it's hard to be engaging When the things you love keep changing Brassneck, brassneck. I just decided I don't trust you anymore I just decided I don't trust you anymore First time you came over Do you remember you saying that you'd stay for good? No I didn't think you would Well we couldn't've been closer But it was different then, and that's all in the past There I've said it now at last! You grew up quicker than me I kept so many old things And never quite stopped hoping I think I know what this means It means I've got to grow up It means you want to throw up Brassneck, brassneck. I just decided I don't trust you anymore I just decided I don't love you anymore I just know, you weren't listening, were you? Oh please go, whenever you'd prefer to I said it means a lot, when you use an old phrase But then so what? We cant have it both ways I know, you're not bothered, are you? Even so, I'm not going to argue He wont object! Keep writing to me Just don't forget you ever knew me

Kilburn National 1989 Yeah!!

Thanks for this,especially now. Happy New year. Haha.😠
