Title: Echelons by For Against
Added: May 9, 2006
Author: Spacirelei
Duration: 4:30
Description:
Nebraska's lone entry into the dream pop world, For Against initially consisted of bassist and vocalist Jeffrey Runnings, guitarist Harry Dingman, and drummer Greg Hill. Dingman and Hill left after 1988's December to form the Millions, and they were replaced permanently by Steven "Mave" Hinrichs and Paul Engelhard after a replacement lineup failed to work out. Since its inception, Runnings' band has consistently produced a drifting yet distinctly rhythmic sound, soldiering through the myriad alternative scenes of the '80s and '90s. With one foot in the British post-punk of Joy Division and the other in the gliding atmospherics of Kitchens of Distinction, For Against are worthy of any and all accolades imagined. Treasured by shamefully few, geography and infrequent touring have rendered this a near-impossibility.source:http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:2hdsa9rgb23f

Aug 20, 2007 - I think it's a mistake to compare For Against to any other band, even though the musicians themselves and their label are especially eager to do so. However, I like the Skeletal Family/Xmal Deutschland comparison. They were and are a very original band. Thanks for uploading this.

Jan 22, 2009 - For Against are their own deal. Can't compare them to anyone. Except maybe to other IPR bands. Abecedarians are awesome too. Bummer there's no footage of them.

peskystudent Says:
Jul 23, 2009 - As far as comparisons go they have a Section 25 or Modern Eon vibe most definitely, at least this particular song does. This in no way diminishes how fantastic they are and are one of the few earlier bands form USA like this.

Jan 18, 2010 - Yes, this seems quite heavily inspired by Section 25's awesome "New Horizon" (watch the video for it on YT).

Mar 7, 2012 - They sound nothing like Skeletal Family or Xmal Deutschland. That's a horrible comparison.
MrCollinGabriel Says:
Apr 11, 2012 - Ummm For Against already had several records out before a peep was heard by Pale Saints.
