Lords of the New Church – S/T LP
Yesterday was not a good day for me. Very sore and tender. Never felt right. Couldn’t eat as I need to. I feel better this morning.
The Lords of the New Church were a punk rock supergroup of sorts with Brian James and Stiv Bators, Dave TRegunna and Nick Turner. Their production was slicker than earlier punk efforts and the band had some chart success. I always loved the mere idea of the band. The name of course alone and the members themselves were something I liked without even hearing them play. The bonus is once you heard them, they were that more awesome. Great writing, melodic songs and a punk vibe topped it off. My favorites are “Lil’ boys play with dolls” and their ‘hit’, “Method to our Madness”. They recorded three studio albums and one live disc but there are plenty of comps and re-issues out there as well. Great stuff. Great logo, cover and package on this one.
