here we have a feckin brilliant blast of proper old school punk.recorded at the legendary vortex club in january of 1978.the band formed in Great Yarmouth in 1974 and were originally known as er.. Cosmic Love.never really hiting the big time they always seemed to pay support to the likes of xray spex and sham 69 etc.anyway kicking off with the theme from hawaii five O and throwing in two covers from the kinks we have a loud,fast and quite brilliant punk band.this is playing on the c.d player beside me as we speak.grab yourselves a slice of old school punk rock cake,listen,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

The Drones - Peel session e.p

continuing the peel related reposts is this session from the drones.they started life as a manchester pub rock band in 1975 but by 1977 had reinvented themselves as a punk band.they moved to london playing at the legendary roxy club in covent garden.they also played a lot of gigs with the likes of xray spex, the vibrators and the stranglers.in december(?) of 1977 they recorded this 4 track session for mr peel at the bbc studios.i really like their storming version of the ronettes 'be my baby' which is included here.so at your next pogotastic punk party remember to play this session.enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!
