Just another site that's giving you hard to find music

A Place To Find Some Rarer Tunes (Mod, PowerPop, Punk, Ska) ripped from my vinyl collection. If it sounds good I'll post it. The idea being that now you know about them, you can seek them out! If anyone is unhappy about any of these posts please contact me & I will take them off.

  1. One of the original D.I.Y. monsters! I remember looking for this when I was in high school in the early '90s. Had it on tape for years. This rip sounds better and clearer than I've ever heard it...I can actually make out the violin now. Didn't know they were from Stoke...and that ain't no joke! Definitely bridges the gap between street-punk/Oi! and D.I.Y./artschool punk...especially "Glandular Angela". Music Hall is the ultimate aesthetic!

  2. Thanks - I'm not sure my rips are that great, but they are good enough!
    I'm pretty sure that most of the band were from further south than Stoke & just moved there to Study.
