“Tony Wilson once remarked upon seeing Joy Divison live at a battle on the bands in 1978 that “every other band wanted to be on stage, Joy Divison were there because they had no fucking choice”. The same can be said for The Seed, The Vessel, The Roots And All; it exists because New Pagans had to make it. Everything here needs to be expressed.”
