UI(l LATI(lN had a write-up i.n T.no Bradford punk band, Yiolation, the first issue of WCR. At that time, theyrd clone on pubJ-ic gigs. Heref s whatrs happened in the eight months since then.... The band's i.lne-up remaina unchanged (Aky on dms, 'Oxfam' Harry on voc, Mick on gtr, Barry on-Bass). it was the trio of Aky, Mj.ck & Barry (+ assort ed friends ) that walted for ne in The Manville. Plnts ln, clEs lj.t & formalities aside, they let me choose some photos & then began to talk about themselves. The bandrs first two glgs were both at Palm Cove, & both with The Negatives & Total Confusion: r'On the gl g f i rs t we- were-Ttr-Fs-FTandli-T-vy-5iiTToffi' we 11, s o at the second one, we went on after Total Confusion but Harry had laryngltis so it was difficult, though we stil-l seemed to go down well .r' Aky's determination & dedicated enthusiasm has always been a major drlvlng force in the band.

On a final note, Yardis have been glven support slot on the forthcomj-ng Eawkvind tour & v111 also support The Plasmatics on thelr solitary Britlsh date in London. rluly'rs programme was cl-osed by Leeds band Red Eye turnlng ln a commendable 1f uninspirlng set.

The Rip Offs are brothers Martin & Niek Hutchinson (gt & bass), brothers Gary & Dave Krnder (voc & dns, the latter for absentee Dave Howitt), Dave Hanks & Pete Richmond (gtrs) & backing vocalists Caroline Barrett & Rachel Nash.

Prior to this j-nterview, Ird had - though the post - G.J.ts demo tape of some 24 tracks, some Iive. others home recorded. There are a couple of.poeue done (inevltably) i:r JCC style, several poems done to guitar & a whole bunch of songs done variously to 65uitar/drum machine, etc. - with Mr Metcalf & Ms WLbbley in there for guest appearances. It's a most interesting tape, wLth G. J. comi-ng across- as a skili.ed lyricistr/poet & a versatile performer-songwriter. Persona1Iy, I feeL a shorter demo with tNorthern SouL', 'Soclal Parasltef & maybe two 'Raincoatsr, othere on it would be more effective - easier to l-rsten thru & consi.stently impr.esoive.

ignif icant J-y lmproved by better production. Thelr Jazzy arrangenents wofk wcll most of the t1me, but 1n several places the musiclans actually work againot, rather than with, each other.. AN ITCH: 4 tracks done as a demo on a portable cassette recorder in the guitarist's fiont room. ft's a very rough recording so therers a bad j_nbalance between the instruments & an atrocious vocal sound so the band are hard to assess accurately. ft eeeme to be narginally experimental rock that doesn't come across.

BIUSH: 'Totally.Up' (a 5-track tape released on Venal O02). Heavy nelodic pbp that combines the T"p9u,,CelI best of commerclal new wave (Blo;1die/Jan/Sq;e;;;) ;;i the across-the-board type of rock appeal'tiiat, say, The Motors achieved.

Bvery song's a potential single, wlth j.nventj.ve arrangements .& fu1l narks to Ric-Rao for a top ggalfly procluction job. Only real reservatlon is that, like lhe Jago, & a nillion other bands theyrve a woul-d-be Elvls Coste}lo on vocaLs - good but too derivative. The caseettefs â&#x201A;Ź1-99 from manager Steve liluseon, 5 Green Lane, Mansfiel-d, Notts. The band thenaelves are from the Wakefield area. CUBA: 'Wlre1ees World, c/v rFrankie'. (pre-release tape of oingle due out on Arlola). Leeds/Bradford band wlth another Ric-Rao recording. Irm totalJ-y sold on the Aaldo. Other sldote a stralghtforvard 60's-ish popsong. Steve rightly pointe out a strong parallel wlth tne Tourlsts - ltne there in the overall sound, but more cepcoially 1n the vocal (which he thought was Annie Lennox at flrst). Steve: "Yooals are a bit-Eraey throughout, maklng the choruseg eound wcak. Aleo, the sauc baelo ploddlng drunming on both traoks ie more & moro notlaeable as you lleten - lrrltatingly eo.rl

but there are a lot of standard lnfluences heie. Therers no doubti,ng their nuslcal ability & the ti-ghtnese of the band, but - now theyrve been togother IB roonths - they should try to develop a more distlnctlve sound of thelr own othervlso thei-r chancee of furtherlng their c&reers in the muslc biz must remaln slight.rt NIGHT VISITORS: 5-track re]ease on Terminal Music (or i-e this juet a demo for ne'2).
