police squad Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 My band covered the single 'Money' back in the 90s. I thought the songs were good and I saw them a couple of times Just listening to the album now, at work, still sounds good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonaRik Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Fantastic band who should have achieved much more than they did sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazhowe Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 IIRC they used to do some great cover versions on the B side of their singles, including; Silly Thing (Sex Pistols) , I Got You (Split Enz) and Menah Menah (Animal’s song from the Muppets). 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also played a version of 'Look But Don't Touch' many years ago. Good band. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madshadows Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Played their first album recently and it's excellent, it was a special edition with a bonus CD of covers and other band compositions, the covers are great including Pump It Up (Elvis Costello), Should I Stay Or Should I Go (The Clash), Unbelievable (EMF) & Hanging On The Telephone (Blondie), great band John 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbandit599 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I used to seem them when they played around my way - great live band, always a good night out. One of my favourite gig memories is of a load of sweaty rockers singing along and doing the actions to their cover of S Club 7's 'Reach for the stars' - great fun 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget the band, but a similar thing happened with our version of Message In A Bottle. lol. Myke Gray is on my Facebook, he's a hard working so-and-so that's for sure. He deserves to do well. Also known for Jagged Edge and current band Shades Of Gray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookPassBabtridge Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I thought this thread was going to be about the very talented lady from Skunk Anansie. I'm going to give these guys a listen now though, cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
