V/A - Compilation N.E.1 1981

Sunderland Musicians Collective, mostly recorded at Guardian Studios, released by Guardian Records N' Tapes shows this nice litte record what's going on there. A good mix of punky and wavie tunes which only appear here and not anywhere else. Don't know much about the Sunderland area but the sound of the city is quite cool and amazing that I can't find a typical UK smasher ala G.B.H or so on it. I guess, life is more melancholy and quiet as in London, it's here no different. Enjoy the music and dig in!
