[kj] Peter & the Test Tube Babies/The Gonads

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Personal faves are the Violators, and of course the Blood, who I'm still 
raving about to anyone that'll listen, and indeed anyone that won't listen.
What you have to watch out with many of these bands is "second album 
syndrome", where most of them turned into shit, pretty much!   I'd reckon 
Captain Oi! records are the best bet for this kinda stuff these days

  PS. And my advice would be avoid the Gonads at all costs!
