The press release for Ulterior's 'Sex War Sex Cars Sex' contains quotes that compare Ulterior to Gary Numan, Killing Joke, Suicide and Jesus & Mary Chain and judging by this single those references are pretty on the money.
The band look like they mean it in this video - this isn't the usual knowingly sly nod to the past - and on the four-minute climatic build of 'Sex War Sex Cars Sex' this sounds less like a 2010 take on early 1980s electronic industrial punk than the real thing. BlackPlastic digs it, although whether we'd want to listen to an entire album of angst-ridden electronica remains to be seen.
