Song of the Day # 1,453 The Vertebrats


There's nothing that the sad likes of me relishes more than unearthing a largely forgotten classic such as this. The Vertebrats were a Garage / Punk band, active in the Champaign-Urbana, Illinois region between 1979 and 1982. This song, Left in the Dark was covered over the years by The Replacements, Uncle Tupelo and Courtney Love. It has a special, dark energy, full of the snarling invective of the very best of the Nuggets band upgraded for the following decade.
