The Rock Club, Chelmsford? Played there in '78. Good gig and fun but the promoter never paid us.......

1979 had some amazing music....I find more great stuff every year---and this is yet another example

@steffap So true! I Love the period from 77-82!

This also sounds very much like Wire did around that time. Very much in step with 154.

Their 1st album was more interesting than their poptones. I saw them in Berlin in Oct. '83 & they still rocked

Sounds like Joy Division. Very nice! :)

hahahaaaa so good. SPECIAL DUTIES!

Is it the accent or is the sound a tamer version of Gang of Four? That said, I've never heard and kind of like it.

my band Special Duties supported Modern English loads of times in 79/80 including the Drowning Man/ Silent World 7" launch gig at The Rock Club in Chelmsford. Great days. They were better when they were The Lepers but they were seriously underrated.
