   About The Zips
>>>>>>New Single - 30 Years Of Punk Rock - Released 26TH October 2007 <<<<<<< The cd contains 4 tracks - Seven/30YearsofPunkRock/Don't Be Pushed Around/and Im In Love "live" track from a gig at The Venue in London 1979. Previously: Glasgow band, The Zips released their debut album, Guitars4Hire on September 28th 2006 - 27 years after their debut single! Having been around at Punk's birth in the Seventies, splitting up as it was overtaken by Ska and New Romantics in the Eighties, and re-forming due to European bootleg interest and internet bidding wars for their back catalogue in the Noughties, The Zips now find themselves in the midst of the new guitar band explosion in the UK, and they are loving every minute of it. Guitars4Hire is on the Tenement Toons label and is available via Avalanche Records in Glasgow/Edinburgh & elsewhere via at: www.cdbaby.com or www.emubands.com or email: info@thezips.com or buy copies at gigs (check gig dates). The Zips - old enough to know better that the only thing worth knowing is the words to Know Your Rights by The Clash! .. width="425" height="350"> ..>
