This song brings me back. Listening to WDRE back in high school and making mixtapes for friends to prove that I liked more than just Billy Joel, Pink Floyd and Led Zepelin. Former Bauhaus frontman came out of the woodwork to lay down a track that ruled in its day. “Cuts You Up” may feel dated, but I think that’s what I love about it. It’s a near-perfect representation of the era and and an alternative rock relic that fans can look back at with a sense of nostalgia. Those were good, good times. And this was good, good music.

“Move the heart. Switch the pace. Look for what seems out of place.”
