Quads - The Collection 1979-1980

The Quads were a  Mod/Power Pop band from Birmingham England that released 3 singles in the years 1979-1980. In 1979 they recorded a session for John Peel and in 1980 they also had two songs on the Brum Beat Live at the Barrel Organ compilation LP. Here's a nice collection of most of their output. I'm missing the b-side to the second single and the compilation tracks. Does anyone have those? Very good sound quality.

Zeros - John Peel Session 11-30-77

I posted this session on the old blog two years ago but that version was missing the song Solid State. Recently, the complete session started making the rounds. The Zeros were a great band it is a shame they never released more than a single and split single. A full album by them released in 1977-1978 would now be a classic of the era. Seems the band have been playing around the last few years with the original members. They have a Myspace page with additional old songs, including a demo version of Radio Fun, and some new ones plus info and photos. Radio broadcast. Very good sound.

Nostrils - Digital Album (2012)

Got this email from a band in the Ukraine yesterday. They sound pretty good so give them a listen. Their album is a free download.

"Hey guys!
I thought you might be interested in our band. We're from Ukraine, and we're playing our shitty punk songs for three years now. We've just released our second LP on our "Pathetic Records" label.
It's called "II", please, give it a listen:
