The British Way Of Life The Way It’s Got To Be I liked The Chords very much, as a younger Penguin, this is the fourth single, and the one I prefer out of the handful the band released. Supported The Undertones a bit, and mixed it up with East London’s Purple Hearts in the 1979 Mod […]
Too Many Creeps Snakes Crawl / You Taste Like The Tropics New York’s Bush Tetras had a no wave link, via guitarist Pat Place’s association with James Chance, but the band’s sound was neither frantic nor disjointed enough to be properly categorized with those bands.

Better Scream Joe Decent and critically aclaimed debut 7″ single by Liverpool’s Wah Heat. I fancied something a little more melodic tonight. Back to the normal noisy stuff tomorrow.
