'Survival'
BRP, UK, 1979
EJSP 9257
COLLECTORS WILL know about this one. Not to be confused with the punk group of the same name this is an obscure NWOBHM release distributed by the infamous Ellie Jay label. It's been said that only 100 copies were ever manufactured but nobody from the band has ever been tracked down to confirm or deny this.
Musically its a brilliant raw hard rock record with strong NWOBHM overtones. First track on side one is 'Survival' and begins with an air raid siren, before crashing into some heavy guitar riffing! The next track 'New Song' appears to be (from the lyrics) about contact with people from Saturn or Jupiter. This is in a far more progressive rock style leaning towards a raw and unpolished early period Rush. Elsewhere its a brilliant peek at a young band jamming their socks off in a deep dank basement looking to get the hell out of wherever they formed - very little is known about this record. Rare!
