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.

WMC conjures up ln the nind of those yet to vlsit, this venue still rempins an inpreoolve platform for heary roek at its finest, & did so even through the punkr/new wave expl-osion of ,75/,77. Once agalnl tnie iemarkable tradj-ij,on came through late ,June & al1 of ,tluly unblenished as some of the top HM outfits 1n the country succeeded in bringln6 capacity audlencee to thelr feet.

Junefs progranme waa cfosed by last-minute & 4-plece band from replacenento [lggetllebtc!r B Ii c xp o o I wn o-a:T6l[ffi-in r e pr o d uc r n g ii M c r- a s s i c e .

Yith accurate erccutlone of nunbers l-ike rSpace Station No.5 t , rJailbreakr , rEnerald I , rHighway Starr , & rRook5r Mountaln Wayr to name but a few, they provided sufflclent ammunltion to keep the headbangers at the front conetantly aetive. The ab1l1ty of each of the lndivldual mernbers is unquestionabl-e, although comnerolal succesg will obviouely always eluds them (lronically enough, I thought the beet song of the set elnply because it was thelr own rStreetfightlng', euffered. no comparleon vith tfre origlnal ). Perhape th greatcet hlndera.rce to the band Liee 1n their bass gultarlst yhoae reeemblance to Phi-l lynott in both yooel & playlng otyle (black Fender Prccj_sion et al-) 1e too olose for confort. Howcvcr, at thls level, Strcetflghter wilL never be out of work & f }ook forvard to aeelng then here agaln soon.

IltohfyEdc are now ooneldered one of the moet pronlnent up-&-aonlng HI bands, although a great dcal of thclr rcputatlon 1g buiLt entlrcly around their singlc rGlvc rcn Eell'r, an obvj,ous neoesslty for any buildiag rcoord oollectlon. A fuII house wae treateal t a' potcrful set, rlch 1n oxoltenent if not orlglnality. tlltohfyndc rcvel 1n thls aort of atnoephere &, as thl oct prooceded, the band oonpletely obliterated ny (eee WCR4). 'Gettin Heavyr, rDo pr.yloua orltlelsn Itn, rDo You Bcllcvc Yhat You Rcad 1n The Stars?' & rf Uoke Up Scrcnningr rere all_ ercellcnt & vere hcavlJgr donlnated.by aone eycoatchlng (donrt you mean ggoatohlng?!-cd.) drunnlng & powerful gultar work fror Gra Scorcaby & Ilontal.o reapectively. NaturallJ, rcr EeIlI galnccl the beet reeponac fron the 'G1vc hnovledgcable audlenoc vho oan be hard. to pleaee at tlnca but onn oertalaly appreclatG an cxcellent band Ilkc Ultohfyndc.

Thc follovlng Thursday wao, for me, onc of total dcprcaalon er J[ found nyac]f at tha other end of tha oountry,* thua was unabl-o to eee the return of Dlanond.Hcad, onc of the flneet Hlil bands to euerge for r.Iglrg tfu9: By aII acoounte t[ey vcrc outstandlng &, rt thc Yardlr g1g on l?th, there werc plenty of Dlqnond Heacl T-ehlrte on y1er. For Yardis thercfore 1t rar a oaar of follow that, but thcylre local favourlteg .& audlcnce reaotj.on & reepect were never 1 doubt. Eovcver, aftcr pravloue performances here, f had dlsnlased Yardlg ag no-hopere ollnglng onto the Iovcr rurxgs of the fadd.er of fame. Sinoe then of oourae, a rooot.dlng contract hae cone thelr way & the ba.u'd. are 1n the prooGBB of recordlng a live albun.

Conecquently, Yardls have acquired hlgh quality aqulpnent 1n abundance wh1ch, along wlth the excellent nlr, producsd a supcrb eound wlth baeg & druns roull'dlng oryatal-clear agalngt the unlque sound of Stcvc Zodlaera gultar. Thie vao the flrst tlne It had rc.n Yardls play ae a unlt rather than as lndlviduale at tlnes worklng against each other. Thelr record aonpanyrs lnterest in thern is, on thie showing, wellfounded lndeed. rDesti-nyr, rSituation Negativet & tlOOnphr complete wlth extended. over-the-top lead sol 1n true netal tradlti-on, all went clown a storm, yet for me the beet aongs of the set were both new rThe Lionrs Share'? & secondly ILetIs numbers, firetly Got goon to be released as the bandts next oingle.

Encoree lncluded the excellent fIf I Were King' throughout yhlch even Steve Zodlac'rs volce sounded good, but I etill stick to ny op:inion that Yardis woulcl vaetly lnprove by enploylng a strong singerr/ frontnan to bring out their full potential. Desplte th1s, Vardls turned in an overall brilllant set, the only erltlcisu being 1ts length; Just 40 ninutes cxoluding thei.r two encores. 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. TTE:STa eound ,& the band'rs musical ability were often overehad,owed by some dreadful vocals which dld anythlng but set the crowd alight, Jet nusically Red Eye are very conpetent & at tines excj-ting, espec1all when they unleash dynamic power chords & lntrieate dual gultar breaks fron the twin Gibson SG's - as in tllotorcycle Dreamer'. The eet contained a number of covers of whleh ZZ Top's 'Iush'r & Joe Walsh's 'Rocky Jlountain Wayr were dealt wlth quite well, but their handling of AcrlDc's rLet There Be Rock' & rwhole Lott Rosie'' were terrible ( Bon Scott, God bless hi-m, must have turned in his grave) a tne applause that they received for the latter was more out of reeognition for the sonA that its execution. This was an

j"nconsietent eet by Red Eye with nany conspicuouo faults whlch may d-ecrease with trne; but, Ii-ke Yardls' Red Eye need a linger up front who can at leaet hit a few tiue notee, in order to consolidate their l1r-e-up' bi]l for August looke just ao Prlncevllte'e i-nvrting & potentlally nlndblowing wj-th the returng Whlte Spi-rit & Limelight to name but two-- *eve'rown nonths ago I would have been pushed to find two bands pJ-ayi.ng in the town on a Saturday nlght.

However, on thj-s night I cLocked up aeven groupo in four venues, although I had to enploy oome judlcious s print i,ng !

Here 1s a brief ]ook at the evening.

1. The Guests (Pofy). Snappy pop frorn a four-piece thaTTFTiillEE a Eax. Self iiitten materj-al played wltb etyle & sone intelJ-igence - i.e. Icrowi-ng when to use effects euch aqboho & when not to. As I have written elsevhere, t sf,ill- feel sure lead ainger, Dave Haigh, could. beai ntvispoetell-o at hie own gdne. tnie ie * Hudtlersfield barrt that d,eserves your attentj.on.

2. Gloe8y t{ass (white Li-on). Thay donf t cut it w'lth !€, though they do have a strong }ocal following in tov. The sound ie too cluttered. & confused to bc pop with a ating. Take a Lleten to The Guests, boye, to eee how economy does have ite virtuee.

J. Propoeltlon Jl (ltUion). I found this enba:rasalng. nneiGffiEffi, tney were oefore a reasonabry attend.ed bar roon. When they finlshed, puntere werc ground, thln on the having found the upstaj-rs bar a better propoei-tl on.

These grovn lren gave us a dleplay of crasa etage mannerisle vlth eorc dodgy rock thrown ln. Only a veraion of rI'm so Bored yith Thc USA| relcivecl the ronotony. I thlnk rlrn so Boring 1n l.Iorleyr woultl be eafer, gente.

4. E.t'I.F. (PoIy). A record.ing eka band vho will- Iaet ae E-ng-aa....5. Xpozez (CJ-eopatraa). Three nonthg ago thcy were no-hopere, but nov thcy IG{OW vhat thcy are dolng.

Their braud of punl, derivativc of ?he ilew lork Dol-}a (though not thelr llagc) & Thc Art Attaoke, hlte betyean the eyea.

A d.ozcn faet, two mlnute aonge eepouelng the Crase philosophy ehowed that eonc of us are etill rj.dlng on man;r

'77 .

5. The Kltlsryr€tg (foty). tneir firat hom toru glg ofn6FTffiffil@fTariet, but they havenrt lost thclr sounal , whlch j-e described by Erone aE rfreshr & othcrs rl1np aa & tiredt.

Thio etyle of nod oannot give then a llving for nuch longer unleee thelr forthcoming firet LP aurpri.eeo everybody & revitali.ses the nod market.

7. lhe Yibratore (Cleopatras). I'l not oure how nany nenffil-TF6and ar-e fron the line up, but nb matter, the i-rage is preserveil as'?Z olean punks.

Audience reactlon was sllght to the new matcrlal, it belng both ulfanlllar ,* eecond ratc.

Ironically, The Rip Offs' c.iE at The Cocti-6taos-{Ie

(supporting pportlrrg theffiir..ffi) IneJiffiffiEt couia have coufa nave been one of or' the the townts townrs swanr.song swangong roclievents: for. as as glg sis venuea venues vents; for, throughout the town cloee under financial pres€ure, Harrogaters tvo dozen or so banda are finding dates ha.rd to cone by. Meanwhile, like Ronnn revellers before the ci.tyts fall , glg-goers thoroughly enjoyed the line-up at The Cock.

Bradford punk poet little Brother made one of his infrequent visits- to HEF6[dTeEtertain a packed hall 1n his own inimitable sat.irical style. fhe Rip Offs are a newly-forned 8-nerober Harrogate band already naklng an lnpact in the area.

Fun & unconvetionality are the bandrs nain almsr as evidenced by such songs as rMichael Rowed The Boat Ashorer & a stylised version of the Batrnan thene-tune.

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.

Hlgh-points i,n a varied & di-sverse set were rlrn A Sharkt, a fj-shy little number with a floating base line (theee puns are awful, well done, John "a.) & nrnning through it to give a desert ieland flavour rHe11o, He11or, a teenage love bal}ad, A Lene Lovich touch was added by backing vocalists Caroline & Rachel & the group was held'together throughout by rock-steady bassist, l{ick, standirrg out of the lrnel-ight at th{back of the stase. -foJry.lhisfrolrl

We got paid off after the Jrd nrght - not a great start ! " That was back in Xroas/New Year t'7y;/ t'7t} .

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. The I naned numbers wouLd make a i great f irst single/El. Back to the lntervj.ew. LivinlS in London (well, Bushey in Herte, actual-ly) durrng holidays & at Leecls Univ. durinr; tern time, he's been glgging mostly in the two cities - wi.th a few others on the college,/unlv circuit (Oxford, Leicester', York, Nottingham) - often aB a support solo act to a rnajor trrulin" band. fn thls capacity, hers worked wrth Delta 5, Gary G1j- tter, The Photos , 9 Bel-ow Zero, the Wi.mps (wlth whom he actually plays guitar occasionally as well), 0tway & Barrett, etc. He has mcre gigs lined up ln Leede during September & j-s hopi.ng to do a set of during .freehers' conferences. appeara.nces around universlties For the past 12 months, he's been waiting for some songs to be released on The Wrnpe'own label- Snlff, but it doesn't look like that'I1 rnateriaLise. Red interest havenrt FTiffiAT%rk label-) were interested, but since that initlal said any nore. However, hete hoping that the current demo & the work that it's getti-ng him on the 11ve scene will generate some intereet elsewhere thatrll lead to a recording deal.

t:

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. Itrs a bit boring. Ti-tle of 2nd song aumg then up on thrs showing: rMediocrlty Killet. However, they seem to be a new outflt, so wetll.reserve judgernent til} we can revj-ew a g1g or hear a better rec ordlng. s

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. Nblably there'i'a good friavy-ftr sound wlth well-used effects plus. impreJslve bacl_up page vocal harnonles to a Joe Jackeon/Ianlead voca1.

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

Vtrl/L DfiNg\7i[r:fi or. ,ol|*t"

YINII DINERS: J track cassette: rGerm4nyr, 'On The Boxr & rStarbeckr - availabLe at gigs or ring John (nanager) on Harrogate 889184. P"nkt new ravi pop with vocaL harnonies (nale lsad voc + 2 fenel_e-bickup vocs) tnat glve then an overall eound rs,ther reminlscent of Rezllloe/Revi"ll-oe. Extrenely catchy & instantly enjoyabJ.e.

TAR04: 5-track etudl0 deno from these pontefract hcawy rockors. Stevc: ttThis j-s nore up my street though itrs not exactly the best. Theyrve played Prlncevllle a couple of tlnes & went down ok, but not great. There'e good & bad HM - this falle eoncvhere betveen. Itrs good to hear forceful gtr,

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). Rlng Andy on 061-7892686 if you're interested. Some excellent eommercj-al eounds epoiled by suepect harmoni-es over the eroellent fenale lead vocali-st (who sounds not unlike The Photost Wendy Wu).

However, Steve et1l1 thinks that the band are at their best with thei_r nore farn1-llar humoroug materlal . (Try them on Radlo 2 - Sun or Frl nlghte).

Sest track is rltercenarlesf Flrst & Iast traeks aleo have appeal, but we dldn't like the other two at all.

organiaers are hoping thj-e wil} be a regular event in tnE Scottlgh rock- calcndar' & 1t certalnly YaB Yâ&#x201A;Źry popular & managod to attraot a lot of b1g bands. beipite all this, the organlsatlon l-eft a lot to be aesi.rea (especiaily when-compared to Readlng). For example, on arrival you're collared f2 to park tee car, gJ1 for your weekend ticket, then a further fl to set up y'tlnt a good 4OO yarde (i-t could have been further)-awayfrom yrcar, & all this is a good mile walk up a country lane away from the actua.l- arena.

Upon bvery entrance to the arena, You were frrsked in-your foi oarryine any kind of drink & any found posaeasion iraa to, be di-scarded at the gate. nJ plsaed & causlng getting iuppose it prevents people trbuble", tr thought, until I saw a tent inside the ground selli-ng nothing but Skol- at great expense.

-On to the show (at last) t ttre first major band to nake an appearance were Stiff littIe Finsers- Go 'd throat news is that Jaiie-nurns ffi & his gravel-plt vocals were ln fine form. Wrth tlie iaw agressi.on, the.y hammered their way throu4h ueual rsuepeot Devlce', r^A.Iternative Ul-ster' &'On The Edgel etc. ln f ine atyle. f was Just d j-sappoint ed ir L the shortnesc of their oet, i hour, followed by an lnterval of an hour before wc 8atJ the vivacious Annir: lennor hit the stage wlth The Touriete. Thle was towarde tbe gteetetl by a ba:ra[e of St<6ll-ffiSing itaee whioh eoon took the sting out of Annie's ta.tl- 4: thciefore resulted 1n a very medlocre, half-heartecl porformance. [1nd you, I really enioyed the heuntinr': iendltion of '],onellest ItI&n In The Worldr.

To flnish off thc Saturday n1ght, the band ve were dj-dnft let us all valtj-ng for - The Ja,q - & they down. They were toirg-E-tra5;ress j-ve, especlally aiter PauI l{e1ler gave the snall eectlon of the audi-encer thelr last warallng for sllngi-ng cans of Skol .
