The Standbys – S/T E.P. 7″

standbys.jpgI went nuts when hearing it the first time over at Strange Reaction. So I tracked down a copy(thanks to Roger Mah) and have to popularise it over here.

 

This should’ve been a two tracker. Listen to the other two tracks over SR that’s not posted here. I’m asking myself why they tried to sound like a bad Clash rip off on the other tracks when they had their own thing going on the two rippers posted here.

 

From a post at SR we can learn that Ted Olson the drummer went on to a more known band called Battalion Of Saints.

    Hey thanks for posting. I check it out now and again just for laughs but It’s nice to know my old band is still listened too!

    Withdraw is certainly familiar from Back to Front Volume 4. Quite a catchy song it is indeed. Strange how there are only now 4 postings on this one.

    Another record that needs a repost :):
