bastro evolved into a more artful project, but when they first started, that first ep with the drum machine, it was pretty much big black round 2 also..
Also, never heard a JOY DIVISION influence in their music..
A few of the members went on to form this awesome band switchitter (there are two bands called that; it's the non-shitty one) which has some of the weirdest guitar lines I've ever heard, though the vocals sometimes bring the songs down, specifically the song that goes "1 2 3 oh yea i'm practically a girl" or something. Fuck dat noize.
