I originally started this blog to make music from great bands like The Rousers more available for people to hear. Recently, someone requested re posts of both Lp's; so I decided to post them together and add the singles too. Unfortunately I forgot that my copy of Susans day was warped; I tried to fix it and ruined it like an idiot. Anyway, I recently bought a new copy; when I get it, I'll add it to the post. Additionally, one or two of the other singles had some crackle to them; it's been a long time since I listened to them(I guess It's time to upgrade "Enjoy"!).

The Rousers were a five piece from Broek op Langedijk, Netherlands that started around 1977 and lasted till 1981. During that span they released two full lengths and a handful of singles. Near the end of 1980, vocalist Bonne Zigtema left the band trimming the line up to four. Vocal duties were taken over by Cock de Jong and Wieb Zigtema on the Touched Lp. After the break up the band split into The Thought and The Shavers.Line Up -
Cock de Jong - Guitar and Vocals
Jan de Jong - Drums
Rob Marienus - Bass
Bonne Zigtema - Vocals
Wieb Zigtema - Guitar and Vocals
Torso Records 1979,1980
Ariola Records 1980

Thanks for all of your comments! I'm glad you like the records and the blog. The Rousers are one of my personal favorites.
hi, im sorry, i dont talk english, i wanna hear "at the discotheque" of the wimps, do you have the tracks? thanks.
Thank you very much.
Fantastic. Thank you very much!
Sorry, I don't think I ever picked up a copy of At The Discotheque. I might have an Mp3 somewhere. Contact me through Email and if I have it, I'll send it to you.
Very cool to see all of the comments; glad you like the post, thanks!
oh man, thanks! "Leave Us Alone" is the best thing i've heard in a while.
Hi Zach, cool to see your still around. Glad you like the tune...Thanks for the comment!
yeah i come by every now and then.
i do have to say that it's so great that you reply to everyone's comments. seems rare with most sites.
Even though it's a bit redundant at times; I figure if someone, (such as yourself) is cool enough to take the time to leave a comment I should try to answer them. I figure it's like not answering someone who says hello...Thanks Zach.
I've been looking for the Rousers stuff!Thank you so much!
I'll be sure to check more from your great posts..
Cheers!

Hi Robert,
I'd love to hear whatever you have? You can contact me through the shotgun77gmail link.Thanks for the comment,
I love this blog but I have a problem with downloading from Sugarsync, it constantly crashes in the middle of download, which is especially frustrating with this Rousers post for me... Is there some chance of uploading it on another server? thanks
Sorry Villiam, Sugarsync is the only service I have. Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of anyone having trouble, with it.
I don't know why it's only me, when I try to download some file under 20 MB, it's usually ok, but bigger files always crash and I'm pretty frustrated :/
thank you for this superpost, still active!!
You're welcome lolo, thanks for the comment!
reminder to add Susans Day. :)
