Unfortunately the band were only around for a short time in the 90's and never made it outside of the UK as far as I know. Tim is going to send me a biog of the band, so keep your eyes open for it when it appears. Hi Nihil

Thanks for the comment - you're right, they are really talented. Unfortunately the band were only around for a short time in the 90's and never made it outside of the UK as far as I know.

Tim is going to send me a biog of the band, so keep your eyes open for it when it appears.

These guys are really talented. I especially like Tiochfaidh Ar La. Are they still together and have they crossed over the pond for gigs? Thanks for this post. These guys are really talented.

Bob, the live recording you have is a cassette we put out as a benefit for "tottenham against the poll tax" we shoplifted the tapes from woolworths, there were only possibly 50 as there are only so many cassettes you can nick! it is a shockingly ropey recording, but interesting none the less. we used to do a song called "blow it up" which had a generally anti McDonalds/multinational theme, after the tottenham irish centre gig (where this tape was partially recorded) an angry mob did McDonalds in tottenham high road and we were accused of incitement. the rest of the tape was recorded at the peckham dole house. cheers for your comments, Tim cheers for that, i'd be more than happy to do a brief history or answer any questions, what is the best way to do it? as comments here, or as a seperate thing? you are more than welcome to e-mail me.

I have played it repeatedly, over and over again - that perfect mix of punk and politics. Not too little to be irrelevant, not too much to lose the fun. I have a live recording circa Irish Centre 1990 with a couple of unreleased tracks. Would like to read a history too.

I've hooked a genuine rock star :D I'm glad I could help you out mate, this record is an absolute gem, one of the ones that I'd definitely grab and save should my house catch on fire (truth be told, I'd probably be stupid enough to try and save the lot - with the possible exception of Celtic Frost's 'Into The Pandemonium', although even that has its moments - by throwing them out of the window before my char-grilled self). I've just checked out your Myspace page, didn't realise that you'd gone on to be part of such auspicious bands, and I really like the Squid58 sound too. Good summer dancin' tunes :) If you're ever passing through Bristol or thereabouts, I'll come and say hello. If you can be arsed doing a brief 'History Of The AK 47's' (akwiki :D ) for this site, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to read it - how you got together, the motivation for what you did, good (& bad?) times, where are they now, that kind of thing. Or something completely different, whatever you feel like. Cheers for the comment, and for the good times. Blimey! I've hooked a genuine rock star :D
