   Marching Girls were a three piece originally known as the Scavengers; one of New Zealand's first punk bands. The name change ensued upon a relocation to Melbourne in 1978. In all, three singles and a EP were released before the bands demise. True love appeared in the movie Dogs in Space from 1986.

   Happy Halloween! Been a while since I posted a garage record. Here's one of my favorites.
   The Crimson Shadows were a Swedish 5 piece, around from 84 to 86. They self releases 2 singles before disbanding. After the split, an EP titled "Tales From The Crimson Shadows" and a Mini LP titled "Hangin' Out!" were released. Two more releases immerged years later in 94 and 2010.
