Another band I know jack shit about. From Holland and you know it’s hard to go wrong with those eraly dutch punk bands. Face Cover Face can be found on Killed By Death Vol. 14.
Mecano Ltd later stripped their name to just Mecano and have released records until 1996: Mecano Discography.
Anyway this is an excellent two sider with Face Cover Face taking the lead with the hooky bass in the chorus. “Face cover face. Space sucks space. Plastic eats flesh. Spastics need trash.” Yeah!
Country: Holland
Year: 1978

So many great bands from Canada. I am partial to the Viletones…screamin fist screamin fist screamin fist!
Sometimes, Canada lies in Holland.
Ha. Meant to post under the Bureaucrats ep.
Now this is another excellent post. Love the fuzzy guitar.
Great single, especially “Face Cover Face”! I never understood why the “I’m Sure We’re Gonna Make It” CD comp on Epitaph chose “Fools” over the more superior tune. Didn’t the guys who played on this single also bash away on the amazing Helmettes 7″? (also on the No Fun label)
I went to Amsterdam from the south of France in the early 80’s to meet the singer of this band, Dirk Polak. The guy received me in his house, asked his wife to make some coffee, and we spent a whole afternoon speaking about music and art while his young daughter was playing around.

Punk’s not dead! Oi oi oi oi
this is a freakin great single! i’d never heard the b side before, and its gooooooood stuff!
Oh man… I can’t believe it! Thanks! I have two of their LPs but never even knew of this single. Thanks.
This one is great, and I’m so glad that I found myself a copy of this record some months ago. I have the insert if you don’t have it Peter (or maybe you just didn’t bother to scan it when you posted it all those years ago).
THIS IS FINE PUNK.
Wooohoooohu what a fucking awesome track.
Face Cover Face ROCKS!
Love “Face Cover Face,” such an awesome track.
Really thanks!
I’ve search this single on the web a long time ago
