Eighties

1984 single by punk band Killing Joke. The jackhammer guitar, harsh, percussive, calls to mind the relentlessly pounding machinery of modern urban life, or the lockstep marching of endless ranks of MBAs in expensive suits, headed for a bright future in which their wealth and socio-political supremacy is assured. Slowed down and demilitarized, the guitar lines are strikingly similar to Nirvana's "Come As You Are".
