A slight 60's Pop feel can be heard on some of the tracks; think The Zombies chasing Wreckless Eric whilst wielding mighty Buzzcocks ... nicky crumbs in the butter web zine // A SMASHING TIME ! THE CLASH MEETS THE TELEVISION PERSONALITIES .. N.M.E. // FIVE STAR LO FI ROCK N ROLL .. RECORD COLLECTOR // The spirit of 78 is alive and well with this one! ;-) ..LULUBELLE // you guys sound a bit like the wedding present, i like it! D .. TRANSGRESS // really like these songs (H Ward reminded me a little of wedding present in a wierd sorta way)..THE GLOWFRIENDS // a delightful mix of the Sex Pistols and Camper Van Beethoven
late 70's punk is great

I am afraid I might wear it out
the lost in France sessions are the best ..USIS OF THE .. // Brilliant stuff. "Pay No More Than.." is a classic..HA HA SAID THE CAR // Pay no more than is class .. THE DODGY DEMO CLUB //

A night of messed-up Rock ‘n’ Roll featuring
Cambridgeshire’s LONG BONE TRIO with their dark twisted fusion of Rockabilly
and Garage sounds. BEAST WITH A GUN escape the heady delights of Great Yarmouth
to inflict their 60s influenced strain of Garage-Punk on the innocent folk of
Cambridge, along with Worcester’s THE DISSOLUTES, who are guaranteed to shake
the place up with their Lo-Fi Junk-Punk rock ’n’ roll!!!
Good to see you too. Daniel has started coming to a lot more gigs recently. I think it's cool he wants to be seen out with his old man, he'll tell you that it's because he likes the music and I just happen to be able to give him a lift! :)
