Before PJ Harvey was a solo artist, they were the best rock band Britain had produced since The Clash. Amongst the shoegazers, janglepoppers and the last strains of baggy, PJ Harvey were Britain’s shining blues-punk hope, showing that we had alternative music just as vis-ceral, vital and loud as American grunge. With their first album, the three-piece stampeded their way into the ample praises of NME, Spin and Rolling Stone. But their 1993 major label debut stretched the limits of how violent, uncomfortable and darkly humorous a mainstream album could be; its title-track the unlikely duality of unforgiving fury and unrepentant desire. This is New British Canon and this is the story of “Rid Of Me.”
