While the UK cover to Society actually depicts and tells the story of the "High Society", the US cover is Hooligan (yes, that's the singer's name) with an American Flag boxing glove. No idea who's brilliant idea that was, but I thought it was a poor move.
These Animal Men (or TAM) are one of the few bands riding on the New Wave of New Wave, er, wave. NWONW also applied to S*M*A*S*H and Compulsion, and early Elastica and Sleeper.
Elastica and Sleeper eventually graduated to Britpop, but TAM never really seem to have made that transition :/
