Dream Dates "Moans on the Phone" ep


Simon Harvey of Ugly Pop met up with Dicky Fix and found out about his early band the Dream Dates. They wound up putting out two eps of the band's material. This was the first which was recorded at Kill Kill Studios in November 1979. The ep didn't come out until 2000. The material is along the vein of Teenage Head and the Forgotten Rebels in terms of being melodic first wave punk. My wife sings the A-Side all the time from having heard it at home. This was some great punk rock archeology work by Simon.

1. Moans on the Phone
2. Heartattack Rhythm
