[gailmckennag]

[robbo67]

This song was my first ever 7" vinyl single purchase. Awesome....

[blozzy22]

I deadset think this is the first time I've heard this song since 81! I'd totally forgotten about it. I remember lovin' it at the time.

[watchth1ngs]

someone listened to too much Devo tossed with a bit of Todd Rundgren

[jonsilence]

A sadly overlooked band that never quite launched as they deserved to. Their best work is really brilliant.

[hardsam68]

does anyone really think the peroxide blonde is playing the keyboard lol

[Geeljasjes]

Them synthesizers, Yummmmmm

[nahed651010]

Hey....absolutely loved this song and used to perv at the guys LOL

[80sOldSkool]

Hey, I was interested in knowing did you copy this off rage in Jan. 1989? I specifically remember seeing this back then and that the title was in pink without the name of the song, as this one is.

[endracismguy]

great song this love it

[joseluis88]

This is so fucking crazy!!! Where can i find this records man!!???

[80sOldSkool]

wow!!! SO COOL, 80'S EXCESS OVERLOADED!!! this looks like it would have been recorded from Rage in very early 1989, as they used to tag their songs with just the name of the band sometimes around this time.

[oldredun]

@80sOldSkool - all incorrect children, early to mid 1981.

[mfactor88]

their best song is "Young Men Drive Fast"look for it.....this was the only song of theirs i heard in oz on tv never radio :(. a classic by any means :) m48

[candidcomment]

Awesome piece of Synth Gold!!! Great pop tune .........and how effective is the plastic clad Dancing Chick !!!! Video woulda cost like $ 600 ...

[neonurse41]

I know the band! I used to play this over and over!

[Jottobear]

I used to think that this song was about "self gratification" when I was a kid...

[vinto34]

[macromeat]

Thanks for posting.

[clinton984]

Love to know EVERYTHING about them. On the net, the most info you can get is the brief Wikipedia entry.

Do you (or anyone) have the 12" of One Light In A Blackout?

[clownferret]

I have most of The Quicks & Giant Steps videos and will endeavour to get them uploaded soon. If anybody requires any info on the band, feel free to ask.

[Anythingoes88]

@clownferret

You're joking! The only vid I have (and have yet to upload it) is 'Down the Wire', but I do have almost all of their audio material mostly on vinyl -including the previous band they were in -Grand Hotel!
