A solid two-track affair, for fans of driving, anthemic bands like Rhythm Corps, The Sound, U2, etc. This is the lone single from UK post-punk quartet A Motion Industry, released in 1986. Here’s another one lovingly ripped by Goutroy of A Viable Commercial – from his shelves to your hearts.

Without any further ado, here’s the single: Vocalist/guitarist Janette Pierce Davis also performed with Latex Theatre. He is currently active in The Science of Deduction. Cheek would go on to form indie rock stalwarts Ass Ponys, while synth player Doug Hallet remained a fixture in the scene, also performing with Latex Theatre, Danse Macabre, Ubu Roi, and Tesla Coil. Sadly, these three tracks are all that were released to the general public, but I hope there’s some more material floating around out there somewhere…Īfter Dream 286 called it a day, bassist Randy Cheek would also play in local band The Libertines (not the UK revival band) with drummer Joe Hamm. Otherwise, from what I can tell, the band was fairly active throughout the midwest, playing a slew of shows throughout the area, including a prominent gig opening for Factual, whose track “ Psychotic Romance” is worth hearing for those unfamiliar. On paper, the band reminds me quite a bit of UK-based punk band Action Pact!, but with more synthesizers in tow. This four-piece band hails from Cincinnati, Ohio and has an excellent dark new wave/post-punk sound that I can never get enough of. Happy to share this one-off 7” from 1983 by Dream 286 – fresh off the needle and into your eardrums.
