CASSETTE - F.FWD EP 1979

Next obscure slab was recorded by a four piece called Cassette and they were Robbi (vocals), Bog (guitars), Aid (bass), Rich (drums) and F.FWD (Fast Forward) is their only release on 1 Track Records. Three nice tracks that have nothing in common with the typical hard British Punkrock of the Eighties, I would tend towards postpunk or new wave. The opener is a solid mid-tempo number with a creaky guitar and nice tempo changes. The flip starts with a shiny stomper that is played just as brilliantly, followed by a worthy conclusion with occasional rest phases. Very interesting record from a band that unfortunately didn't make an appearance in any other way but this goodie is perfect. Guest on the compilation Nobody Wants Us Vol.7.
