Inspired by The Fall

The sheet-metal guitars of The Fall may have set a sonic template for a generation of post-punk bands, but it was Mark E. Smith's declamatory voice—part furious scorn, part whimsical poetry—that has proved such a lasting influence. You can hear it in Lifter Puller's fiery declamations, in the street surrealism of Sleaford Mods and also in the dry wit of LCD Soundsystem and Arctic Monkeys.
