If the Homosexuals were on a bill with the Kinks during the British Invasion, they may have turned a few heads with their name and their aggressive sound, but they wouldn't have been entirely out of place. Their fuzzed-out guitars and snotty vocals have earned them labels such as pre-post-punk (huh?), and their subtly experimental instrumentation has garnered comparisons to Wire and mid-period Clash, but the trio's unapologetically pop "oohs" and "aahs" — and their affinity for blues riffs, pianos, and mandolins — might put a geriatric Ray Davies at ease. You might call the 30-year-old band proto-pre-Brit-pop-punk, but then frontman Bruno Wizard would have to smack you (and he would).
