As one critic wrote of the group, \"Those who couldn't play tried to learn and those who could tried to forget.\" The Mekons' second 7-inch stands as a lasting monument to the punk era. \u003ci\u003eWhere Were You\u003c\/i\u003e, an anthem with chiming guitars, military-style drums and snotty lyrics, may be one of the most epic songs written with just two chords. The angular spasms and up-front bass thump of \u003ci\u003eI'll Have To Dance Then (On My Own)\u003c\/i\u003e would become tenets for many of the post-punk bands that followed. Fast Product's slogan upon the single's initial 1978 release: \"The Mekons' new awareness of sound.\" A double A-side, indeed. This first-time vinyl reissue comes with the original sleeve design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Revolver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42468203528390,"sku":"855985006499","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1377\/6983\/products\/3418284964d3debf495cdb7f7f4d985caca3644b.jpg?v=1668730431","url":"https:\/\/www.shugarecords.com\/products\/themekons-wherewereyou-newvinyl72018superiorviaductrsdontranslucentyellowvinyl-postpunknewwave","provider":"Shuga Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
