Northern Londoners who formed in late 1979 under the influence of the mod scene as well as Gen X, Buzzcocks etc, but according to themselves they never managed to be “good” enough to be a mod band, so they decieded that punk was the thing for them. After recruiting local Mensi impersonator Cliff Hanger the band was ready to take the world by storm… or maybe not if you ask Gary Bushell who called this EP the worst Oi! record ever! Guess that makes this the second Oi! record posted here after the Introze magnificent 7″ Kids In Uniform. I’d rather call this rama-lama-shitty-shitty-bang-bang-punk, but if you wanna insult the band by calling it Oi!, just go ahead.
If anyone’s got a copy of their tape release for sale, or MP3′s for that matter, let me know and I’ll post their flexi 7″ as a thank you.

Worst Oi! band ever? OK, it was bad, but The Beardsmen still take that prize for me.
i think is a little post punk but more england cockney style cool old punk pearl.thank you kbd
Orders was good but take a listen to their other single “Arnold Layne” (yes, the Pink Floyd song). It’s a real corker….better even than Dave Gilmour & David Bowie’s recent version. I saw PX play live at Rebellion in 2008…they played Orders but unfortunately not Arnold Layne. I heard they don’t play often (something like just 20 gigs in 32 years)
I have the Arnold Layne flexi as well, and it will probably show up here in the future.
I woke up with a lot of anxiety, couldn’t find health care documents that cover my non-existent but expensive ailments. Felt bad about Norway. Sparked up a bowl (or vaporizer, as we do these days). Listened to Orders, pretty good and sloppy. But then got lost in my better half’s records. “Relics” brought me to a better London PX place, like Sun Ra or the Raped Teenagers. I hate my parents more than they hate me.
I hate Mcs (micks) and my wife, too, and used condom-chewing Swedes, but I applaud the celt who wrote “I will give you everything”–even if Them are Muslims.
garry bushell was right still good diy sound
