THE MUSIC FRONT

 



A late '80s recording from post-URBAN BANDITS Arnold Morales (re)issued for new generations of punks. THE MUSIC FRONT are more '77 punk with a serious ear to the would be pop hits that came out of the first wave/s of UK punk. "Radio" deserves to be packaged for cult status - the song is more than worth the entire cassette on its own, but it shares space with "Start A New Day" and "Till I Kiss You" and seven other should-have-been classics. It's hard to believe that a session this good was kept quiet for over thirty years, just a perfect listen from start to finish...and the punky reggae anthem "What Is A Friend" as a closer? Yeah, I'm gonna be listening to this one for years (and years) to come.
