In the late 1990s in New Zealand there was a guy called Darcy Clay who had a reputation for making catchy garage tunes with a hillbilly twist out of his bedroom. He released an EP called Jesus I was Evil around the same time he landed a support slot for Blur on their 1997 tour. Unfortunately shortly after the tour he took his own life and (barring a live EP featuring much the same songs as his first EP) we never got to hear any more from Darcy.
Blake sent me links to a whole bunch of US garage stuff and as I was listening to some of it I was reminded of Darcy and how much I rate him. I was inspired to dig out the EP and share a couple of my favourites (linked below). The original EP is virtually impossible to find anymore but there was a rerelease of both EPs also titled Jesus I Was Evil on Antenna Records in 2002 which is still floating around. Enjoy!

Go the 'please support this artist' call, given he's dead I don't think there's too much I can do...
Would love to source the EP though, any idea where from?
