The Blades (Hot For You Single)

It's supposed to climb to over 100 degrees today where I live, so I thought this would be a fitting record to post.The Blades were from Dublin Ireland, they existed from 1977-86, and this was their first single. In all, They released six singles, and one LP. There was two distinct incarnations of the band, with Paul Cleary being the constant. If you would like to learn more about the band click HERE and HERE . You can purchase their LP, and a collection of their singles from Reekus Records .

The Zips (Radioactivity Single)

Here's Glasgow Scotland's The Zips second, and final single. It was released on their own Tenement Toons label with a pressing of 1000. The band reunited a few years back, and released some new material, so I guess technically this really wasn't their final record. Anyway, you can check them out HERE and HERE . This single doesn't receive nearly the attention that the first one does, and understandably so, but, it's still a solid record in it's own right. I'm Not Impressed is definitely my favorite track here. I posted a reissue of the first record a while back, that you can find along with more detailed info HERE .
