Generating Steam Heat radio show 06.02.18 (Sisters Of Mercy 1983 special)

On this weeks show we were joined by guest Matthew Rochford for his look at the Sisters Of Mercy during the year the band released their most aclaimed work; 1983.

Matt handpicked some choice Sisters cuts as well as tracks by the bands influences and contemporaries on the early 80s post punk scene.

Matt was inspired to put this show together by a recent Quietus article-check it out here.
