If the hard rock of the ’70s was littered with drawn-out jams and extended solos, then one of the things that punk did was to bring back songs that were short, sharp… and sometimes sweet.
This is what Jon Young wrote about the cow-punk group, X, in The Trouser Press Guide To ’90s Rock (1991):
Though X was perhaps the most important band to emerge from the Los Angeles punk scene, its members were never genuine punks per se. Too self-conscious and artsy to simply spew, leaders John Doe (bass, vocals) and Exene Cervenka (vocals) repackaged their bohemian tendencies in new guise, delivering desperate meditations on sex and society at high velocity, happy to ride the coattails of more instinctual performers.
