After five decent singles, London's three piece combo Dead Man's Shadow released their debut album with fourteen melodic tunes on Expulsion. Original started D.M.S. with the first foray to studio activity as five piece and existed with Matt (vocals/bass), John (guitar), Ian (drums) until they broke up in 1984. They enjoyed only minor commercial success and that's a bit of a shame, because the three captivate with catchy melodies and excellent interplay. Sometimes too long for my taste, half of them more than three minutes, and I guess this was the band's undoing. Their second and final album, To Mohammed A Mountain, came out on Criminal Damage Records (shortly then the band dissolved), plus some compilation appearances. Fazit: good record but nothing earth-shaking.
Nice album WDM, one of my favourites
