Day 237.
The Seashells: our Swedish friends are back with a wonderful new song called “Sandi”. The band is not that prolific these days but now and then they surprise is with a new gem. Oh! and remember they appear on the latest Cloudberry fanzine!
Sapphire & Steel: “Assigment 1” is the name of this short EP of 3 songs. The new band is a duo formed by Jørn Åleskaer from Norway and Estella Rosa from the Netherlands and it sounds really lovely. This is very promising. Let’s hope for more songs!
Love Tan: here is superb sounding cassette with 7 songs that I feel everyone should get. It sounds really really good. The duo hails from Brighton and is formed by Ben Nightingale and Céline Doméné. Sounds a bit like The Pastels or The Vaselines. I hope they get a CD or vinyl release!
The Laundromat Chicks: here is a project from Vienna that is totally new to me. Their latest songs date from a few days ago. They are called “Dance on my Grave Tonight” and “Nobody Believes Me”. Fuzzy upbeat pop!
Terry vs. Tori: the Seville, Spain, band is back with a new record! That’s great news. Their new album, “Heathers”, is available now on vinyl and includes 10 terrific songs. I need to get this record when I get back to NYC. Will copies still be available?
—————————————————————–
Another short post because this is a terribly obscure band. I found this as many other bands lately on the AGMP Youtube channel.
The Inner Sense was formed by Andy Stevenson on bass and vocals, Roger Snelwar on guitar and vocals, Andy Thorpe and guitar and vocals and Ian Bradford on drums.
They didn’t properly release anything as far as I know. The only thing we know about is a demo tape called “The Day Has Just Begun” that was put out in 1985. This tape had at least four songs, “It’s the Only Way”, “Happiness In Your Heart”, “Is It the Love Inside” and “Waking Up”.
All songs were recorded at Wild Roots, in Gillingham, Kent. United Kingdom that is. England. Were they based somewhere close to Gillingham? Were they part of the Medway scene? Perhaps?
Aside from this I haven’t found any information about the band on the web. Were there more recordings? I can’t say.
On Facebook I tracked down a Roger Cavendish, that has Roger Snelwar as a name in parenthesis, from Gillingham. Could it be the same one? I wasn’t able to find the other band members, but this might be my best bet.
I can’t find any other information about the band as I said. But I hope someone remembers them and can shed some light about them.
