Not bad, but a very derivative band. A large part of their organ-dominated sound was copped from the Doors (who, in turn, lifted it from US garage bands like the Seeds and Question Mark & the Mysterians). Listen to the Stranglers' version of "96 Tears", then listen to Question Mark's original and you'll see what I mean.
