Reviews & Opinions
KILLED BY DEATH: The title track reveal [sic] what I suspect what this band was really all about: bad pub rock jumping on the punk bandwagon. But I can’t deny that the flip Grammar School Girls is a catchy Stranglerish punk ditty with piano. Love it. And what makes me love this even more is the fact that 77punk.co.uk wrote this:”To top it all, they resort to that most base of rock’n’roll tricks of roping in some topless model to help flog the single.” Sure it’s a simple trick but there’ve been worse: all these bands “looking” punk to trying to sell their shit.
PUNK 77: I sometimes find it difficult to swallow that bands like the Bullets from Birmingham got a single out while other better punk acts struggled for so long with nothing. To top it all, they resort to that most base of rock'n'roll tricks of roping in some topless model to help flog the single. Grammar School Girls is the pick with singer Harry Lang's hysterical vocal effort to be punky over a sub Stranglers cast off riff. Terrible but listenable to!
