The Best of Brought To Life - 228

1. THE RICH KIDS - 'Ghosts Of Princes In Towers' - EMI 7" - UK - 1978
What better way to start than with a glorious powerpop classic. See the Revolver performance here.
2. CHEMICAL PEOPLE - 'Find Out' - Cruz LP / 7" - USA - 1988
Just a few 7" tracks on this one. From the 'So Sexist!' album or the flipside of the 'Black Throat' single.

3. INFA-RIOT - 'Riot Riot' - Decca LP - UK - 1981

One of the highlights from 'Strength Thru Oi!'

5. VONBRIGÐI - 'Ó Reykjavík' - Hugrenningur 2 x LP - Iceland - 1982

If you haven't seen the 'Rokk Í Reykjavík' DVD yet then I'd advise you to do so at once. Here's what you're missing.
6. THE 4 SKINS - 'Low Life' - Secret 7" - UK - 1982

Glue sniffing was not something the 4 Skins approved of. Their third single.
7. DRUNKS WITH GUNS - 'Zombie' - Glitterhouse 7" - USA - 1990

Sludge rock, anyone? My favourite version of this song. Great to dance to.
8. PURRKUR PILLNIKK - 'Óvænt' - Hugrenningur 2 x LP - Iceland - 1982
Back uptempo now with another classic from 'Rokk Í Reykjavík'. Visuals here.

9. THE BLOOD - 'Megalomania' - No Future 7" - UK - 1983

Their debut single. 'But tell me Johnny Paul my son if I should make so bold, why don't ya donate just one of your robes of silk and gold?'  Why not indeed.
10. INFA-RIOT - 'Each Dawn I Die' - Secret LP - UK - 1981

This one's from 'Carry On Oi!'
11. EGÓ - 'Sieg Heil' - Hugrenningur 2 x LP - Iceland - 1982
Halfway between the punk and the rock on 'Rokk Í Reykjavík' were this combo. Visuals here.

12. CHEMICAL PEOPLE - 'Overdosed' - 2" Pecker 7" - USA - 1989

'Drugs can't be a part of my life when I'm being overdosed by . . . donuts!'  From the 'X-Feminist' E.P.
13. THE BLOOD - 'Done Some Brain Cells Last Night' - Noise LP - UK - 1983

One of the best hangover songs ever from debut album 'False Gestures For A Devious Public'.
14. ÞEYR - 'Killer Boogie' - Hugrenningur 2 x LP - Iceland - 1982
A fourth track from 'Rokk Í Reykjavík', and I suppose you'll want the video, huh?

15. THE FURIES - 'What Do You Want Me To Be?' - Demo - Canada - 1977

By public demand, here's their demo track which finally saw the light of day on 'Last Call: Vancouver Independent Music 1977-1988'.
16. INFA-RIOT - 'Kids Of The '80s' - Secret 7" - UK - 1981

Their first single. Still doin' it for the kids 'live' here.
17. POPDEFECT - 'Live With This' - Heart Murmur LP - USA - 1988

Seattle band with many an E.P. behind them before this, the title track of their debut album, came out in '88.
18. THE BLOOD - 'Calling The Shots' - No Future 7" - UK - 1983

From the flipside of 'Megalomania'.

The title track from the E.P. of the same name with some nifty bass lines.
20. THE 4 SKINS - 'One Law For Them' - Clockwork Fun 7" - UK - 1981

The title track from their debut album of the same name.
23. NO FUN - 'Be Like Us' - Werewolf T-Shirts cassette - Canada - 1985

Another track from 'Last Call' which first appeared on their '1894' cassette. Hilarious.
24. THE LURKERS - 'Susie Is A Floozie' - Beggar's Banquet 7" - UK - 1979

I forgot about this one during the last Lurkers round-up. From the 'Out In The Dark' E.P.
