I really
couldn't find much on the
Nightking's, but mainly I posted this single for the fallout's track. This was one of my favorite bands through the 90's.
Unfortunately I never got to see them live. I bet they were a great live band . I have just about everything from them, and I think they were one of the more
underrated bands from the 90's. This is a great cover track of the
Cuby and the blizzards tune . Seattle punk-poppers the
Fallouts never got the glory of compatriots like the Young Fresh Fellows,
Mudhoney, or even the Fastbacks or Flop, largely because they were a part-time concern throughout their career. Impressively, they managed to maintain nearly the same lineup throughout: Dave Holmes on guitar and vocals, Shannon McConnell on bass, and Dino
Lencioni on drums. (McConnell quit the group for a couple of years in the early '90s;
Mudhoney's Steve Turner filled in on bass until McConnell decided to rejoin in 1993, and also signed the group to his own Super-
Electro label.)The
Fallouts played locally for a couple of years before finally getting around to making a recording, an untitled eight-song demo cassette. Two years later, the
Fallouts made their vinyl debut with the Here I Come
EP, followed a year later with the Don't Want the Sun
EP. These
EPs, plus assorted other early songs, including tracks from that demo cassette, were finally released on CD as Here I Come and Other Hits on Estrus in 1993. The year before that, the group, with Turner on bass, had recorded their self-titled full-length debut. A second album, Sleep, followed in 1995. Following the release of Sleep, the Fall-Outs went back onto part-time status, at one point going several years between gigs, but the band returned to the studio in 2003, with new bassist
Zaac Aubrey in tow, to record a new album, Summertime.

THE EIGHT VAN ROCK N ROLL PRODUCTS 1993
.
1. YOUR BODY NOT YOUR SOUL
2. LICKETY SPLIT
.
Both of the Amber Squad singles are great and well worth having . Formed in Leicster in Early 1980, the band played a mixture of Pop, Rock, punk and ska. They were on the Radio 1 play list, and featured on the John Peel show, as well as Mike Read’s Round Table. They went on to release two singles, the first being “(I can’t) put my finger on you” and the second, Can we go dancing?. This debut single was released on the “S & T” label (aka “Sound of Leicester”) in 1980.
