Notes:  It was the 80's it was and out of the rubble of Brinsley Schwartz came Bram and his mates to bring us some of that new wave, power pop with a smattering of punk leanings. The world was changing fast and the youth were hard pressed to keep up. And "for what?" they asked. The band came and went and left us this to remember them by. This record was a solo effort for Bram while in the group The Motors. The cover art captures the mood of most of this record. I'd reserve this one for one of those days when loud, fast and whiney will fit the mood. The was released in the UK under the title "The Russians are Coming".

Line Up:

Mickey Broadbent: vocals, bass guitar, guitar and keyboards
