"Liverpool's Hellfire Sermons belong to the same lineage of anti-rock 'n' roll bands as Jonathan Richman, early Fall, early Hurrah!, early Subway Sect, Big Flame." (Everett True) Compared at other times to The Fire Engines, The Great Leap Forwards, and The Pixies. Releasing only one 7" a year between 1988 and 1993, Hellfire Sermons remain one of the most tragically overlooked and underrated bands in post-punk history. Recording at various times for the always inspiring Esurient Communications, and later Dishy Recordings, Hellfire Sermons released a magical blend of Scouse pop and barbed-wire guitar pop-noise. "The same old story of a band too bold, and...not handsome enough for this world. Too demanding. Too challenging. Not pushy enough, too unconcerned about making it. And yet so melodically gifted, so primal." (Daniel Williams) Bus Stop collects all of their 7"s plus compilation tracks and unreleased recordings, for a total of 19 songs. Available November, 2002.
