Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Is anybody familiar with this early 90's alt-rock band? I was lucky enough to stumble upon their first full-length album, God Fodder, in a pawn shop, and I was surprised at how good it is. Fast, pop-punk interspersed with moody shoegazing Cure-ish numbers. I guess a good cliche to fall back on is that they sound like The Replacements meets The Cure meets The Pixies. They have very little originality, but the songs, at least on God Fodder, are really good. I haven't heard any of their other albums, however, so if anybody has anything to say about those, by all means, feel free.

I just wanted to spread the word about this, to my ears, unjustly forgotten band.
