Juke Box Jury Comments

Here's just a small but growing selection of comments about the many varied songs by Tamworth Bands. If you see the yellow Play icon click to play the track.

The Fretz	Heroin
Punk Rock Classic. Derek Goodwin
One On One	Fools Gold
If you can get past the mid-eighties keyboard sounds, this is probably One On One’s best track. Possibly the most musically adept band in Tamworth’s history, if that counts for anything. Nice vocal harmonies, great guitar, tight rhythm section [and Bomber of course, on keys]. Some might say I’m biased though. Thought the Battle of The Bands Final ‘86, which they won, was probably the best gig I ever saw in Tamworth. Muz Pickett

First Conspiracy	Passion Burning
Good song, this, and it must have been a real bstard to play. Tricky "Syncopation" and cracking guitar playing by Sir Rodger of Moorshire, as I live and breath (copyright A. Partridge). Rob Maddison*

Breaking Point	Ode to Nikolas Romanov
Does no-one remember Breaking Point? Probably the best band ever to grace the Tamworth music scene. With songs like 'Ode to Nikolas Romanov', 'Come the Day', 'Guilty', 'Resurrection' and Come on Britannia'. I still have many recordings of Breaking Point, live videos, and the single, and I have to say of all the bands from back then, theirs are the only recordings I still own. BF

This has got to be one of the finest songs to come out of Tamworth. Epitomising the anarchy of the band at the time, with Armchair's acerbic, witty lyrics and dry delivery, Quays desperate attempts to play the correct backing track and Anice and Reeman providing the calm before the inevitable storm as all collapsed around them in a manic, high-speed cacophony of musical mayhem. It should not be forgotten, that with the subject matter of the song i.e. child abuse by the Catholic church, The DHSS proved once more that a serious message could be passed on to the listener with humour, a pulsating beat and a damn good guitar riff. GB

Often described as "a vision of Hell on Earth", The D.H.S.S. are to punk what the custard creme is to the biscuit industry. They are tasty, addictive and very bad for your health. This track 'A Vicar's Hand in my Underpants' epitomises the band's persona. The lyrical wit of Edward ian Armchair combined with the anarchic presence of Rikk Quay. The musical magnificence that is John E. Thrash and then, the icing on the cake, the sugar on the strawberries, that is Anice. Recorded in Tamworth, England for the price of a bag of chips and a pickled egg and originally released in 1988, this is surely the ideal Christmas present for your local man of the cloth - Bless You My Son!.
