Ahhh, there is nothing like a long, healthy sleep and a hearty coffee to greet the world with. I start today with the Clockwork Soldiers. An Oi! four piece from Leicester and they were formed late 1983 and consisted of Timo (vocals), Doc (guitars), Roche (bass), Penny (drums). Their only record is the three track Wet Dreams EP from 1984 on Rot Records, followed by two demos in 1984 and 1985. However in 1985 the band were tired ot the constant problems that appeared as soon they were going to perform live and fell apart. Vocalist Timo then went on to form the Oi! combo The Glory. A review by Jeff Bale Maximum Rock'N'Roll June 1984: "The title song is an hilarious trashing of the Everly Brothers classic All I Have To Do Is Dream, with altered X-rated lyrics. The flip contains one slow, tuneless Oi cut (In The Name Of Science) and a much better speedier number (Suicide). The production is absurdly muddy, and the B-side label has the wrong song order." I think he described the slab excellent and a decent production would indeed have been desirable... never mind, thousand times better as the junk on the radio or senselessly climbing mountains, right!
