2 MINUTE MINOR - Hard Times (Zap)

Up Next is a brand new archival release of the first punk band from Bulgaria called the NEW FLOWERS. This release is called “Cold War Collection” and compiles material recorded by the band between 1979 and 1995. Puke ‘n Vomit is the label that did all the hard work.

This song originally appeared as an ep from 1977 and a live version came out on a Stiff compilation a year later. The BIZARROS were next with a recording from 1976 called “Lady Doubounette”. The BIZARROS were from Akron along with so many other bands and they had a STOOGES and Velvet Underground feel to their sound. We heard a song called “Nova”. That was followed up by the STINKY TOYS from Paris and we heard the song “Plastic Faces”. It was released on a self titled LP in 1977. Up next is a Peel Sessions recording of "Nobody's Hero" by Stiff Little Fingers.

Brand new. WARWOUND are a reformed band from Birmingham that started out originally in 1982. THe re-boot started back five years ago with Ian Glasper on bass.
