Yet another band from my crusty traveller yesteryear who kinda lost the plot for a bit when they signed to a major label, disappeared for quite a while and have now popped up on the radar again. Mixing some classic ska'd up keyboard sounds with infectious punky guitar and a suitably large chunk of energetically dubby bass, the tunes were guaranteed to get the great unwashed up on their feet and dancing. Add in the strong female vocal delivery of simple but honest lyrics and you've got a band that could cut it with the best of the rest of the muddy field contingent.
With any luck, I'll get an opportunity to check out just how well time has treated them somewhen soon. In the meanwhile, I can still stick this on the deck, crack a couple of tins of brew, wear a pair of week-old pants, dance like a muppet and instantly take myself back 15 years. Except for the dodgy hair, obviously.
OP's opinion: 
thanx for putting this up

Awesome, just read The Levellers' 'Dance Before The Storm' which mentioned this band a few times.
