HIGHLIGHTS Reminiscent of early Velvet Underground, Attrix were one of Brighton's most active groups in the vibrant local scene during the early days of punk.

Originally released on the band's leader own label in 1978, this single is the only record they ever put out.

Both tracks are no short of raw vocals and fierce guitars but the band shows also had pop hooks to spare_ First ever reissue.

DESCRIPTION Reminiscent of early Velvet Underground, Attrix were one of Brighton's most active groups in the vibrant local scene during the early days of punk.

Rick Blair, the mastermind behind the band, would work for a time at the Brighton and Hove Community Resource Centre, just above The Vault, a crypt which was the headquarters of the local punk/squatter movement where many musicians would their equipment and rehearse.

His connections with the scene would lead him to set up a record shop and an independent label, Attrix Records, home to this debut release -and only vinyl recording- by his own band.

Both tracks on this homemade looking 7" originally released in 1978 are no short of raw vocals and fierce guitars but the band shows also had pop hooks to spare_ First ever reissue.
