A damn good record is the following one and I cite two reviews to the beginning: "Ignore any prejudices you might have about being reminded of the sound of '77 and learn to enjoy again (like last summer) the constant riffing guitar, studied vocals and melody line supported by the bass alone. Ignore the girl in barbed wire bondage and war pic sleeve and pick up on guts of the performance and wit of the tune. It's no 'Orgasm Addict' but not long ago, Pete Shelly would've been proud of it. And Brian Jones aside, that's better than we have any right to expect of something coming out of Cheltenham." (Sounds, 8.July 1978) - "Lay down a raucous rhythm guitar in the background, bring in clear foreground vocals, and finally make the sound complete with the bass and drums combining as one unit, and you have a superb modern pop record." (Radio & Record News, 1978) - The Tights are an English punk rock band from Worcester. The band's only two singles were released by the Cherry Red Records label. After John Peel played "Bad Hearts" on BBC Radio 1, this single made it to number six in the UK punk chart. Follow-up "Howard Hughes" reached number four in the same chart. After playing their farewell gig at the Marquee Club, London, the Tights split in 1979. In 2004 the band reformed. Visit them on their HomePage for more records, information and music. Enjoy all three amazing '77 punk tunes like I do and I'm sure I'm gonna watch out for more.
