The Wirebender presents: Keep good company

Tony Page  recently  reviewing the Amber squad’s first single released back in 1980.

“Ahh back to reality  and a bloody great stonker of a tune. It does my head in that songs like this never make it into the chart that two years later would have a guy his hand up the arse of a great yellow bird reaching the dizzy heights of number 4!
It just goes to show how sad the human race is ?

Rant over as I’m not talking to you dear Anorakist “I cant put my finger on you” . Cue the drums, cue the power chord ,start the FAB vocals and instant chorus .It’s classed as mod but hey its still punky. poer poppy as any classic . Sort of Elvis Costello meets The Clash and the Skids . 
The B side tell you a lie ‘ doesn’t  disappoint with its up tempo guitar riff and the excitement continues with a chuggy guitar and fast flowing lyrics .it’s all over too soon .
 Buy this NOW £45 if you get it soon ?”
