Band from Bristol/UK with their lone album. The strange thing is, this was only released in Germany. Good powerpop/pubrock here on this platter from this nearly forgotten band. I like it. Read more here.

I was in this band, but I joined after the album was released. The band was living in Germany at the time and got a deal with X-records, which was part of the big Teldec. It was a two record deal, but we got out of the contract on the grounds that Teldec didn't promote us enough. We had a large following in Germany and the album sold around 100,000 copies, of which we didn't get a penny (or a mark).

What a great live band! I heard them two or three times in Karlsruhe more than 30 years ago, and still remembering. Thank you for the memory!
