The Users - I’m Sick Of You 7″
July 8th, 2006 at 10:39 am
We at the KBD HQ love the Spaceward sound and here’s another fine example for your ears. Is there anyone who know anything more about Spaceward? Channels? How did they came up with the raw production? Was it Iggys Raw Power that was the moto? I want to know it all! This is The Users first 7inch and it’s a bit better then their second one posted before.
All you nostalgic old punks shall listen carefully to the lyrics to I’m In Love With Today! And if you don’t pay attention the only thing I’ve got to tell you is
Country: UK
Year: 1977
Label: Raw
Format: 7″

On one of the Epilectics 7″ers(i think its the spiderleg one)they didn’t have much good to say about Spaceward,something about hippies just getting stoned all day on the ‘lics time/money.
Still a killer record,and a band that must have some more stuff somewhere(other than their second 7″).

Best second division UK punk single ever. Raw records was set-up to release The Users single and was gonna be called “Raw Power records” originally, the single was supposed to sound like a Stooges out-take. The Bloodclots version of “Louie Louie” on one of the Raw comps is also actually The Users, Sorry ,you probly knew all this already

Fuck 2nd Divison, this is one of the best punk 45s ever. Maybe the best Brit punk single.
Raw Records put out a few stinkers though.

I really loathe this band - fake US accents in UK punk are UNFORGIVABLE. This was the only era in UK music history when bands broke away form the midatlanitic ‘lurve, man’ rubbish. I’ve nothing against US accents at all but just sound like where you come from - what’s the big deal.
Oh yeah, the songwriting leaves me cold too.

The Best single to come out of that period beggining,middle and end of argument(In my own opinion,of course) and the songwriting kicks ass.I really love this band and what fake U.S accent???.I think the singing playing and song writing sums up what was best about Punk Rock(Pure Raw energy with drive and spirt and no bullshit with killer toons to boot)Mr Nobattery’s comments are the only bad ones I have ever heard about this AWESOME BAND.Hopefully they are the last.Lets hope so

The accent IS a mid-Atlantic generic one with no relation to any area of the UK . UK punk bands usually sung in a London/ cockney accent.
