So I was noticed that Hawkwind and Underground Resistance have some striking similarities. These are the 2 songs that made me notice how similar both bands were. These aren't their best songs, for more listening, I recommend the albums
Hawkwind- In Search of Space
Underground Resistance- Interstellar Fugitives
Hawkwind- In Search of Space
Underground Resistance- Interstellar Fugitives
- Both have themes of future and space/spaceships
- Both released crap-loads of songs
- Both experimented with electronics (though UR was not as bold as Hawkwind)
- Both probably took alot of acid (I know Hawkwind did, I only have strong suspicions about UR)
- Both band's were practically revolving doors for their members with the exception of a few key-characters.
- Both were fairly anti-capitalistic (though UR is just plain obnoxious with their releases, Hawkwind were pretty reasonable)
Some differences include:
- Alot of UR's stuff sucks. The suck factor of Hawkwind is significantly less.
- Hawkwind- British experimental acid-space-rock, UR-militant Detroit techno
- Hawkwind had Lemmy (of Motorhead fame), while UR did not. (this makes Hawkwind SIGNIFICANTLY better than UR
- UR had black people in it, while Hawkwind was comprised entirely of pasty Englishmen (this incredible difference of melanin gives UR a sharp advantage in sunny weather.
- UR is pretty dark and dystopian, while Hawkwind is pretty upbeat and more or less positive most of the time (however, a fair share of songs are dark and scary)
- UR would probably win in a fight because even though they'd be out-numbered (maybe? how many people are in UR these days, 3?) , they're in pretty great shape; Also Hawkwind are a bunch of old men. HOWEVER, if Lemmy were to re-join the band, UR would not stand a chance. If Lemmy were in a wheelchair and was missing an arm, then it MIGHT be a fair battle.
