AWESOME...one of the best Punk rock cover versions in history :) I've heard the album also and their ain't a bad song on it. I'd kill to have their 1st seven inch.......
You must have been the youngest person to have ever seen The Rivals... I remember The St Lukes gig well, Good Times' Go to Detour Records. The Rivals Website.. Or Facebook " The Rivals, The Band That Could Really Play" and there's a good chance that you will be in sme of the photo's All The Best To You Spiralheadcase...Mark The Rivals.
You should have been up with all the other punk bands of that time and maybe you could have had an audience of 6,000. Blew Toyah off the stage in Canterbury. American Faces what a classic.
Definitely one of my favourite songs ever. I know it's a cover, but it's done so brilliantly, with such snarl. I have always loved the way he sings the line "I wonder what is wrong with me", it kills me every time. This video was really cool too, I like all the photos. Sure beats a still of the single cover for 2 1/2 minutes.
Damn, I remember seeing them play on two occaisions at the Concorde club in St.Lukes Ave Ramgate. My first ever live band (I was only ten at the time) I also remeber getting the singers autograph in the local chippy :) Great to see an album finally.
