1987 single from Northern Ireland Band. Sorry that the audio is out of sync slightly, hope you like it. Does anyone have any audio recordings of any live shows, I would be glad to hear from you if you do. Thanks.
Okay, I really don't get all the comparisons to Simple Minds. They're a little similar but Silent Running definitely leaned more towards a kind of 'Billy Idol' style punk feel whereas Simple Minds always seemed to have a more new wave edge. At least that's how I see it.
This is the only song that got any airplay in the US as I remember. It was on MTV's new clip show a million years ago. I did find the "Walk on Fire" CD in a second-hand CD store in Dallas but nothing else. I like these guys.
feenoSM.A Minds tribute band..A good mate of Charlie.I was in the Columbia Hotel London in the 80`s talking to Jim Kerr about Sparkel In The Rain at the same time touring with TALK TALK .And yes i`m from Nothern Ireland.Still recording in my own studio and releasing albums.Lead singer Peter Gambel (Silent Running) at the time also stayed at the Columbia Hotel..Jim had time for a coffee Peter thought he was a STAR.Going to see S.M or Simple Minds in Belfast in December.
Love this song. Brings back great memories. Thanks for posting =)

If 'lady luck' played the dices differently, this should have been a hit.
