Living On Dreams / Family Planning (Barn 1977)

Poppy, commercial and got single of the week in Sounds who described it as "...good tunes...very sixties influenced and they don't throw them away on pointless lyrics."

No buzzsaw drones for these boys; more a punkier Eddie & The Hot Rods.

Absolute storming single. Great riff, controlled aggression and as catchy as crabs! If they had made the one single like this they would have been guaranteed fame for ever.

This review from Sounds 15.4.78 could sadly be applied to most of The Depressions material. Sorry !

The Depressions (Barn 78)

Usual subject matter for songs, fighting, no money, dole & sex. The latter the basis for the opening track of their album ...Screw Ya is ahem...well about screwing in the most graphic sense. The album was panned by the critics interestingly both women. Click on reviews below to see larger images. It is a poor album. Punk or light rock  or what? Check out Basement Daze for another good track.

Screw Ya

Tonight I'm gonna screw ya
Gonna give it to you so hard that you won't forget.
Bring tears to your eyes and cream to your thighs
I'm the best thing that you've ever had.
