Melodic songs with a slight Oi! breeze comes from the small island in Western Europe: the Guttersnipes were formed 1987 in London by Shug (vocals/guitar), Andy (guitars), A.K. (bass), John (drums) and early gigs quickly gain the band a reputation as an exciting live act, supporting the likes of Splodgenessabounds, Mega City Four and the Senseless Things. During mid 1989 their debut album The Poor Dress Up was released by the independent label Razor Records and went on to sell 1500 copies despite complete lack of promotion or advertising by Razor. The album sells only because of Andy and Shug’s work in promoting the band through the fanzine network in Europe. During 1991 they make their first trip to Germany where they are astonished at the reception. This keeps the enthusiasm going & they sign to new label Vice Records who release their 2nd album Hairy On The Inside.... four more albums followed, the last one in 2016, and in this file you can listen to the CD version with their only single as bonus. A fine Scheibchen! 😌
