Spasms (It Never Happens Like It Does On The Telly Single)

The Spasms were a four piece from Chesterfield England. I think this may have been their only single, and according to this Boredteenagers page, there were only 500 pressed. I also found this Myspace page. Band members were; Pete Monk, (guitar) Glen Broadhurst, (vocals, and guitar) John Baines,(bass) and Brian Slater (drums).
