A Raincoat.
The band’s debut single from 1975. You know, when I recently stumbled across this track, I instantly remembered it! Hmmmn. Then I wondered if maybe it just sounds so familiar because it reminds me so much of Sparks. But no – I’m sure I can recall this being played as a sixteen / seventeen year old. Not to be confused with The Raincoats, who formed a year or so after A Raincoat had disappeared…
Stack Waddy.
Stack Waddy, who took their name from a character in the brilliant ‘MAD’ comic / magazine, came from Timperley in Manchester. Originally called New Religion, they formed in 1965, and played in a raucous, heavy R&B style that at times sounds a bit Beefheart-esque, what with the gruff vocal style and harmonica … reference the following: Having built up a formidable reputation for their wild stage…

I bought Glencoe’s debut album shortly after its release in 1972 and could never understand why, despite some high profile support slots wit
Stonehouse
Stonehouse There’s not much I can find about this band – it seems the Plymouth based four-piece (they were named after an area of the city) was somewhat short-lived. As far as I can see, they recorded just the one album, ‘Stonehouse Creek‘ for RCA, and did so in one twelve-hour session, with piano overdubs being added at a later date. Their sound is of a bluesy, heavy rock which I see some have…

The Mickey Finn.
The Mickey Finn No, no. Not that Mickey Finn. Not Marc Bolan’s percussionist sidekick in Tyrannosaurus Rex and T. Rex. This was an East London band that began life as an R&B outfit, The Strangers around 1961. However, when the glorious Jamaican sound of ska arrived on the UK shores, and was adopted by the Mod generation, drummer Richard Brand and guitarist Mick Waller formed Mickey Finn & The…

Quiet Melon.
I’ll be honest, I had no inkling of this band’s existence until I found these tracks while playing through a compilation set. Quiet Melon weren’t around long, only for a short period in 1969 and during that time, while they did play a few live shows, they failed to release any material. A couple of tracks have subsequently turned up on various compilations and Lost Moment Records did…

Crushed Butler.
Crushed Butler. Crushed Butler are another of those bands shamefully ignored by the record companies back around the end of the ’60s / beginning of the ’70s. Formed around the summer of 1969, this three-piece unit have been described as one of UK’s earliest ‘proto-punk’ bands. In part that may be down to their ‘jeans and T-shirt’ image coupled with a more simplistic, not over-flowery-sounding,…
Egor.
Egor were a band of varying ages (sixteen to thirty-two) from East London. They gigged pretty relentlessly all around the South East of England in the early 1970s, sometimes supporting more established bands, and had a residency at the Plough and Harrow pub in Leytonstone. A local promoter approached them one evening and suggested he record Egor for inclusion on an LP he was putting together to…
Cold Chisel: 'Khe Sanh'
(Contributor: John Allan, Bridgetown Western Australia,July 2024) I left my heart to the sappers round Khe SanhAnd I sold my soul with my cigarettes to the black market manI’ve had the Vietnam cold turkeyFrom the ocean to the Silver CityAnd it’s only other vets could understand. I first met Col when we moved here to Bridgetown in 2000. I had worked with his partner Bob in the nineties when I…

Still here; still alive; still LOUD.
Yup! That’s me! (I figure this is the only way I’ll ever get feature on the front page of a music blog. 😉 ) So, yeah – I’m still here … and so is LOUD HORIZON!I know – it’s been a while since I last posted, and I apologise for that. But it’s been a busy time, this side of the horizon. However, if you can possibly bear with me, I’ll back on full flow in the coming weeks. The plan is to retire…

The Sorrows.
The Sorrows. I ‘discovered’ this band while listening to the compilation CD set of British Mod Sounds of The 1960s. CD ‘book-set’ presented by Eddie Piller. What immediately struck me about this track, was how similar it sounded to the Don Fardon UK #3 hit of November 1970, ‘Indian Reservation.‘ Both the vocals and the drumming style had me cross-referencing the band and solo artist – and yes,…

The meddyEVILS
The meddyEVILS The band’s first single: ‘Find Somebody To Love.’ One of the things I love most about writing this LOUD HORIZON blog, is the money stumbling across bands that are related in some fashion, be that by having members in common, or because they have spawned other bands along the way. I discovered The meddyEVILS initially on an excellent 4 x CD compilation, ‘British Mod Sounds of The…

The Liverpool Set.
The Liverpool Set Shane Sennet, a bass player from Montreal, Canada had balls, I’ll give him that! I mean, there was no lacking in confidence, was there? He formed a band with five others back in 1964 and capitalizing on the ‘Mersey Sound’ popularized by bands that formed the British Invasion of USA and Canada in the mid-Sixties, named that band The Liverpool Set. Fair play, though, despite…

Glass Sun
Glass Sun. Glass Sun are another of those Vietnam War-era bands whose progress was hindered, blocked even, by being drafted and then ignored by the influential radio stations when they reformed after their national service. Originally formed as The Cyclones in 1964 by brothers Rick and Bruce Roll together with friend and drummer Danny Sills, the Westland, Michigan triumvirate played locally…

The Soul Agents.
Foundations for the band that would eventually be known as The Soul Agents and stake their place in the annals of UK underground music, were laid as far back as 1960. Tony Good (guitar,) Jeff Bromley (bass,) John Keeping (vocals) and (drummer) Chris Warman, who all lived in the New Forest area around Southampton, got together to jam and practice, practice, practice. After some months, they were…

The Bunch
THE BUNCH @ 1967 (photo by Jeff Rothner) It was late October 1964 when a young beat band from Christchurch, England, returned to the Winter Gardens in neighbouring Bournemouth in the hope of going three better in the ‘Big Beat and Vocal’ contest. Eight months prior, as Dave and The Concordes, they had come fourth in the inaugural competition. Now though, they entered as a slimmed-down quartet,…

Stray
(Stray exhibited their talents early, with a nine minute plus version of this as the first track on their first album. Now, that’s how you create an impression!) It can hardly be stated that Stray were an ‘unknown’ band – far from it. Their years together, their rigorous gigging schedule and eight album releases before disbanding in 1977 ensured they played in before many thousands of fans,…
