band. Classic single Red Alert
/ £8-A-Week (Squad 1978) . Sing along a punk with great riff and tune
and a touch of 'The Kids In America' style crooning ! The b-side was
covered by the Last Resort and is set to a sort of Johnny B Goode style
toon.
Second single Millionaire / BrockHill Boys (1979 Squad) continued this
rock'n'roll style punkiness unfortunately. One other excellent
track , 'The Flasher',
exists by the band on the 'Sent To Coventry'
compilation. The band were formed at the
end of '77 and originally featured Terry Hall ( ater of The Specials)
who is credited on the
label of Red Alert. So many line up changes meant 6 months after
releasing the two singles none of the original band remained !
Band: Gus Chambers - Vocals. Danny
Cunningham - Guitar. Sam McNulty - Bass. Marc Hatwood - Drums.
