I don't know much about this one at all. I seem to remember that 'the Damned ' had some involvement in helping to release this, and it if that's true then it wouldn't surprise me, as the a-side 'Are They Hostile' does sound similar to them.Does anyone out there know anymore? Google is showing very little.
If you haven't heard this one before it will soon be stuck in your head and you will find yourself walking around singing the chorus, ever since I ripped this last night, I keep singing it.
The b-sides OK, but for me it's the a-side (I know strange for me).
There was obviously a mistake on the cover as the b-side 'Love Song' title was added with a sticker.
Band: the Bad Actors
Label: Plastic Speech
Year: 1980
Tracks
1. Are They Hostile
2. Love Song
Ripped from glorious scratched vinyl:
"Strange Love" was the only other single, but was more arty-farty and not so punky, unlike the B-Side which rocks but is a crap recording.
The band eventually split, with some of the others going on to do typical 80s pop stuff, while I became a recording engineer.
A few years ago I came out of retirement and currently front a punkpop band "MARC and the Millionaires", so if you download this, do me a favour and visit the homepage and/or the myspace rubbish: www.marcandthemillionaires.com
So I hope you don't mind the shameless plug, and otherwise, thanks for uploading this, I haven't heard it in years!
Cheers
MARC
