I've been listening very closely to The Dawn of the Rats and there are so many standouts....I just love the band's early energy. The greatest for me though is "How Do You Do?".
That B side first grabbed me when I was a kid...I'd spent the morning digging in second hand record shops in Liverpool and I'd picked up a copy of "Like Clockwork".
The first play of the BSide hit me like a bus and listening now with all the bits of tech I have, it has lost none of that impact.....Simon's drumming, the way Pete's bass line rises and falls, the chopping guitars and Bob's vocals all come together to make this one of my fave tracks!
Some great remixes there.
How do you do? my partner from Brazil she was dancing to this just the other day. It's all the rage, think it was about that night at the 'Music Machine' and the rising violence surrounding the newwave/punk era!. Oi Oi.
So strange, all great songs and lyrics. If only there was footage of these been put together in the recording studio. Amazing stuff.
All The Rage is my favourite
