to be fair i think they have got a lot better known in the last few years among the punks thanks to the cd release and also them being championed by the likes of mickey hopball. probably fair to say they would have been much more obscure but for the sawdoctors connection.

your right - great stuff. have you seen The Lee Harveys gary? if so what do you think?

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Not seen them,I don't get out much. Hopefully now I'm in an active band,i'll get to see some more locals.

 

[bohs punks]

They play an old almost good vibrations type punk - i really rate them.

fuckin bangin band, some hope is up there with anything the Ulster bands did, there is a cd compilation on shamtown which doesnt seem to be on the saw doctors website no more, but thats deff worth a listen, has the gig from tuam scout hall on it, was some yank label was repressing the some hope single at some stage as well.

A banging fuckin band!

Sing Sing records reissued the 7",I got one. It'll have to do until I find an original.

Blaze X were pretty crap to be honest! I get the feeling bands get glamourised just cos they were from the 70s.

Im not so sure about that, some people on this thread like Active Minds others like demo tapes from shite 80's RAC bands, so words like crap and glamourised are a bit irrelevent,

 

[Jerry Twig]

Not sure how 'crap' is irrelevent but 'shite' isn't. The suspicion is that bands often get more credit then they really merit cos they're from a mythical past.

yeah some bands do get more credit than they deserve cause they are from a certain time BUT this stuff {blaze x}im guessing this is at least early 80 s if not late 70 s is up there with anything the northie bands {Rudie,Undertones,outcasts,etc }were putting out at the time!yep its lo-fi recording and not brilliantly played but very little garage rock/punk from that time was!its all about the songs and that song is fuckin good !!!

I like that Blaze X single an all,but it's no Tearjerkers,(No)Sweat,Starjets,Moondogs etc.

And there were plenty of shit bands in the 70's.

ah sure tis all just opinions anyway, the only punk band that really make me go "how the fuck do people like this shite" are the Germs!
