Slowdive - Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell on the Bands That Inspired Them - Under The Radar. Link via Chain Of Flowers.
Excerpt:
"Rachel had a slight goth leaning that I certainly didn't share. I really hated all that stuff," Halstead says, laughing. "But then Nick kind of liked that stuff as well, and we all really liked The Cure."
"I used to love The Smiths—I still do—and The Cure," says Goswell. "Nick would probably say his bass playing was inspired in part by Simon Gallup and in part by Hooky [Peter Hook] from New Order. I think those two are bass guitar gods in his eyes. Neil was more indie, like The Primitives and Talulah Gosh and stuff, in the early days."
