Hiya GP. As always, a superbly crafted review of a great track. Thanks. I would just loved to have been a fly on the wall when Lynval Golding and Jerry Dammers wrote this. "2 tone uplifting dance track: check. Lyrics reflective of youth desperation: check. Trombone? Okay: check. How about an ice rink string sound to underpin it? Cool: check". Sorted. Wonderfully inventive. Thankyou GP x
Crikey. I saw these lads live once. They opened for The Police in 1980 (along with Ska Fish) in Belgium on the terrain of the famous Rock Werchter festival. I remember them as being arrogant and troublesome lads. Some punk bands had that, being against everything and everyone. Not the best attitude when having a rock band which wants to attract a following of over 25 people. Merry Yuletide and a happy and prosperous New Year lass...
