I am a little older than a lot of you out there ... yeah I kow, old fart ... so the "new alternate" music out of the UK circa late 80s to mid 9i0s passed me by to a lesser or greater degree....
But if I do think back to the very late 70s and early 80s (and the hours spent in drinking houses of ill repute), even though i loved the Jam and the clash, one british band from that era that always gets played on the CD player at home or in the car is called "Bram Tchaikovsky", a 3 piece band started around the end of 1978.
First album "strange man changed man" (1979) is 11 of the best songs you'll ever hear form that period (actually from any period). Would have loved to have seen them live. Second album "the russions are coming" - released in the USA as" Pressure" - has 6 of the 12 songs that are good. The third album "funland" 1981, nothing really worth worrying about there.
just wondering whether I am the only person who remembers them... even had to search to back streets of Japan for the CDs of the first two albums, only place they've ever been released on CD... but it was worth it.
