These guys are friends of mine – they had this group together for quite a few years, starting off when they were 18, and played a lot of gigs in the local Teesside/ Saltburn area as well as some shows further afield in the UK and even did a tour in Europe.
They played a 60s style, surf influenced, garage punk sort of music, with lots of humour thrown in for good measure.
They recorded this album in 1997 during one day at a practice studio, just down the road from where I was living at the time in Newcastle, and crashed over at my place for the night, when many beers were drank.
I’m off on holiday for the next couple of weeks so no more posts until I’m back. I noticed recently in my last few posts I’ve strayed away a little bit from the ‘old punk’ part of my blog spot and done quite a bit of ‘other stuff’, so I think when I get back I’ll try to post some more classic old school hardcore punk.
