The Best of Brought To Life - 147

1. THE DEMONS - 'Action By Example' - Crypt Music 7" - UK - 1980

Previously Demon Preacher, though this was the only single released as The Demons. Nik went on to form Alien Sex Fiend. 
2. JET STAXX - 'I'm Gonna Be The Best Guy' - Topkapi 7" - Belgium - 1978

The first of two singles they released that year. 
3. THE FAVOURITES - 'Angelica' - 4Play 7"- UK - 1979

Second and final single with nice Blondie pastiche sleeve. If it sounds familiar, it's because it's a cover of an unreleased Wasps demo who were on the same label. 
4. THE JERKS - 'You're Not Worth It (Jerk Off)' - Demo - UK - 1977

Speaking of demos, this one can be found on the Overground CD 'Jerk Off'. 
5. CELL 609 - 'Factories' - Stuff 7" - Belgium - 1979

Sole single, recorded by impressing the jury in the first Belgian punk contest whick was a sort of New Faces for spikey-tops. 
6. THE REZILLOS - 'I Can't Stand My Baby' - Sensible 7" - UK - 1977

First single, using the term 'uncool' long before most Britishers. 
7. JOY RYDER & AVIS DAVIS - 'No More Nukes' - Monongo Music 7" - USA - 1979

This one has a nice interchange of male/female vocals plus the most humourous female name in rock until Dinah Cancer hit the scene. 
8. THE CHEFS - '24 Hours' - Attrix 7" - UK - 1981

The secret diary of a stalker, the sweet vocals only adding to the sinisterness. From their second and final E.P.  
9. THE DADISTICS - 'Modern Girl' - Braille 7" - USA - 1979

First single. 'All the right moves and maximum juice!' 
10. THE TRAVOLTA KIDS - 'Veckans Brott' - Broderna Surf 7" - Sweden - 1979

Lead track from their first E.P.  A Tunisian trinket seller once said I looked like John Travolta. I wouldn't have minded but he screamed it to a hundred compatriates who were queueing up across the road to see 'Grease'. 
11. THE XDREAMYSTS - 'City Girl' - Polydor LP - UK - 1980

One from their album. Though they were from Coleraine in Northern Ireland this album was only released in the Netherlands.
12. JIM KNOPF & LUCAS DER LOKOMOTIV FUHRER - 'Je T' Aime' - Self-Released 7" - Switzerland - 1982

The flipside of sole single 'TV Time'. 
13. THE BONUS BOYS - 'Confusing Ourselves' - Tsunami 7" - Canada - 1980

Simplification. The Boys were after my own heart. One side of their second single. 
14. YOUTH GONE MAD - 'Oki Dogs' - Youth Gone Mad 7" - USA - 1982

Hot dog joint vitriol, a bit overblown but it sounds like they meant it! 
15. THE CHUDDY NUDDIES - 'Do The Chud' - Eric's 7" - UK - 1977

From 'Brutality, Religion And A Dance Beat' - a split single with Big In Japan. Their only release. 
16. THE AGENTS - 'It's Gotta Be Done, Son' - X LP - UK - 1981

Another track from their German album that I forgot to include on the last comp. 
17. THE PROLES - 'Kings Road Punks' - Demo - UK - 1979

This one finally got a 3-track 7" release by German label Ingognito in 1990 
18. THE JETZ - 'Catch Me' - Various Labels - UK - 1977

Sole single, released all over Europe but not at home. Read more here. 
19. DOCENT DÖD - 'Solglasögon' - Sonet 7" - Sweden - 1980
Their second single and my personal favourite.
20. THE BONUS BOYS - 'I Want To Work In A Bank' - Tsunami 7" - Canada - 1980

'I don't wanna be free!' The other side of their second single. 
21. THE CHEFS - 'Let's Make Up' - Attrix 7" - UK - 1981

Another from the '24 Hours' E.P.
