Trouble Pilgrims - Dark Shadows & Rust - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Radiators From Space were Ireland's first Punk Rock band and we have just celebrated the 40th anniversary of their InchTV Tube HeartInch debut LP with a special expanded edition. The band made a second album then parted ways. Ten years after their debut they reformed and made an album called InchTrouble PilgrimInch (available on Chiswick CDWIKD 269). After one more album singer, guitarist and Philip Chevron's death halted the Radiators' career. Original Radiators Pete Holidai and Steve Rapid have continued under the Trouble Pilgrims name and since 2013 have issued two singles. InchDark Shadows And RustInch is their album debut. With later Radiators drummer Johnny Bonnie joined by Tony St Ledger on second guitar and Bren Lynott on bass they conjure up a swirl of dark material nodding in the direction of the Cramps and post punks the Bad Seeds, but leavened by Pete's fine sense of 60s style melody and underpinned by Steve's Enoesque keyboards. The band has been spotted opening for the Boomtown Rats and the Undertones recently. Album Tracks 1. Snake Oil Carnival 2. Animal Gang Blues 3. Instant Polaroid 4. Death Ballad 5.
