I love the Swell Maps! I saw them play once, in London in 1998. It was at a memorial for their drummer Epic Soundtracks, who was the singer Nikki Sudden's brother. A bunch of other people played the show, but the best part was the end, when the three (then) living members of the Swell Maps played together for the first and last time since they'd broken up in, I think, 1982. One of the best rock shows I ever saw.

The "this sucks" comment appears to have come from Azerbaijan. I don't think the Maps ever made it there. I saw Nikki and the Jacobites in Prague in the nineties, he was living in Berlin I think. It wasn't very good, frankly speaking. But I sure wish he and Epic were still around, would love to see them. Thanks for posting this, it didn't occur to me to look for them on You Tube until just now.

'Build A Car' was released in '79. Here in America, so-called "rock" stations don't play good stuff like this (though they love to play garbage like Jackson Browne) so I never heard it until about 8 years ago after it came out on a Rhino compilation called PostPunk Chronicles.
