Yes I know The
Scars produced more than this one single but Punk 77 is concerned
with Punk rock 1976-1979 so anything else really is out
of the remit. Yes The Scars went on from this but for the
purpose of this site this is their defining moment. Their earliest
gigs saw them covering
You Really Got
Me, Chinese Rocks, Suffragette City, Rebel Rebel, Substitute,
First Time, I Wanna Be Me, 1977, Blitzkrieg Bop and No Fun.
By the
time they they released their first single they had made a big leap
and it showed the quality of the band.

Adult/ery /
Horrorshow (Fast Product 1979)
Joining the Mekons and Gang Of Four on Fast Product the boys
produced this amazing piece of vinyl. Frenetic, trebly, dancy, bassy.
Its not punk - it is punk. Whatever it is its fucking excellent and
I love it. B side about Clockwork Orange is excellent too.

Bobby: "...I
found this photo - the ideal of The Scars, we're teenage, the aura
and everything around that, this photo sort of appealed to it - and
once everyone agreed with it, we decided it would be a pretty good
idea for the front cover." Zigzag 93 April 1979 |
