Thank you, @Trainfish for sending me down the HMHB rabbit hole with your post in the Ashes thread. Happy days bashing type 2s and Tractors in Scotland in the mid-late 80s with these lads playing on the ghettoblaster....

God, this band are (still) brilliant.

Thanks for that @Foxhound . That's the first time I've heard HMHB for a while - great fun.
I'm not a great fan of the punk/post punk stuff but HMHB were/are one of the better offerings.
If I recall, John Peel was a big exponent of them.

@port perran you're most welcome. John Peel was a huge champion for the band, and it was on his show that I first heard the glorious Trumpton Riots EP. They're still as vitriolic to this day, great social commentators.

Eurovision reminds me that brits can make truly trash music too.

Well that takes the biscuit! Let's have a bit of class, loved her since the 1980s so here she is live...


Phew...

After the madness that is Mr Blobby, let's return to some serious love song stuff.......
