First of all, apologies for the audio quality on this one, it was burned
from a badly shredding cassette nearly 15 years old! This post is the
result of a brainwave I had about local bands that you and about 10
other people cared about and how the download revolution could bring
them back from the 'dumper' (I have noticed other Dominoids using
terminology culled from old copies of 'Smash Hits'). So there's the
background and hopefully future posts might include some not rubbish
local bands.
Patrick Skelly and the Prescriptions- Rosalind Berry
Patrick Skelly and the Prescritions- My Dear
That
very term 'local band' implies half-arsed crapness but it's the very
fact that bands often come from dull provincial towns that acts as a
spur to rampant creativity to relieve the boredom. Patrick Skelly and
the Prescriptions came from Hartlepool, at the time this stuff was
recorded a godawful, end of the line port on the North East coast best
known for an amusing local legend regarding a monkey....monkey....
hahahahaha! Patrick recorded with his mates in a local studio that
provided the local dole-ites with somewhere to be artistic and shelter
from the bitter wind blowing off the North Sea. The influences are easy
to spot here and there is an obvious word I could use to describe it but
I will refrain due to its recent over-use! I just think this is really
well played and well executed and great fun. I still treasure that
cassette and will cry when it finally snaps.
No links as they no longer exist but I think they were probably influenced by.........this
