Most probably more well known for the (hard to scan) metallic cover. The start of 'When The Tanks Roll Over Poland Again' sounds like a punk classic, excellent riff, bit of shouting, and then it turns into more of a power pop song, which still works for me, and most probably places them into the 'New Wave' genre.The b-side 'Watch Her Now' takes a few more plays to grab you, but it does in the end.
This was their debut and final single. They did release an album may years later but I have never heard it. Anyone out there know what it's like?
