The Drones - Can’t See 7″

August 11th, 2006 at 4:33 am

drones_cantsee.jpgThe Drones where good at doing the punk thing. Further Temptations is one master piece of LP if you ask me. And was one of the first 10 punk rock LPs I bought back in the 70s. What a suprise to discover that they where just as great at crancking out some fine punk/powerpop too as heard here in Can’t See.

 

Originally a pub rock called Rockslide who released a single called ‘Roller Coaster’ which got nowhere. Sniffing the punk wind of change in’76 however, they emerged as one of the most exciting bands from Manchester’s punk scene.

    Does anyone know if that Rockslide single actually exists? I read somewhere else that it was called “Jump, Bump, Boogaloo”.

  2. steve Says:

    Yes, that’s the title, and yes it does exist. Never heard it though…

    Yes, that’s the title (”Roller Coaster” was the B-side), and yes it does exist. Never heard it though…

    slight error here…

    ‘Cant See’ came out in early 1979.
    I saw them promoting this single at the Moonlight and the Marquee.

    Not being nit picking,but the internet is the cause of loads of misinformation masquerading as fact.

    No offence mate. But its hard to read stuff and not respond sometimes…

  5. The Flakes // Drummer Says:

    No offense mate but since the labels says 1980 and not 1979 I’ll go with that.

    No, 24 incher - they call me “double lp” (or “double penetration”). ;-)

    Small contribution about the dating: Can’t see charted briefly in the indie charts in 5/80 (highest pos. no. 50). Good single indeed :)
