In the mid-70's, this Brighton-based 4-pieces was, like so many of their contempories, searching for the rea soul in rock'n'roll, covering the songs of The Who, the Small Faces and the likes. When punk happened, Tonge, as they were known back then, presto changed their name to the more fitting-with-the-times The Depressions and focused on their own songwriting abilities. And the result wasn't long in the waiting, as the band soon found themselves snapped up by Chas Chandler's Barn label who relesed the first 7" "Living On Dreams"/"Family Planning" in October of '77. the first 5,000 copies were housed in a picture sleeve and was a joint 'Sounds' 'Single of the Week" along with the Sex Pistols "Holidays In The Sun". To celebrate the deal, Barnard and Smith went out to leterally paint the town red, and, as reported in the Daily Mirror, were arrested on the dot and fined for spray painting "The Depressions" on various city walls. Legend also has it that The Depressions during a live performance at the Vortex Club so impressed Keith Moon that he was pogoing and singing along. and they embarked on UK tour supporting Steve Gibbons and followed this up with support tours to The Motors and Slade. They also headlined a few gigs themselves.
"Living On Dreams" and their next 45s "Messing With Your Heart" and "Get Of This Town, which were both taken from their debut album "The Depressions", all showed up well in the indie charts. Soon after the Depressions changed their name to the DP's after an audience member got killed during fight betwen two groups of football supporters at Preston Poly, whilst they were supporting The Vibrators on UK tour. this incident also caused Frank Smith to leave the band. His replacement was ex-Joe Cool and The Killers guitarist Tony Mayberry.
They finally split in early 1979 when was a disappointing response to the DP's album "If You Know What I Mean". Dave Barnard went on to form the mod band VANDELLS and also toured with Steve Ellis Love Affair for a while. Later in 1983, he teamed up with Eric Wright to compose "The Goldstone Rap", a single written to commemorate Brighton and Hove Albion's run to the 1983 FA Cup Final.

Supernaut were an Australian glam/punk rock band from Perth, Australia formed in 1974 and disbanded in 1980.
HistoryFormed in 1974 in Perth, Western Australia, Supernaut (originally named Moby Dick) had a short but successful career which yielded two straight top twenty singles (including a number one hit) and gold album status for their self titled debut album.
Supernaut were quickly signed up by Polydor after a recommendation from Ian "Molly" Meldrum (who produced their debut album) and burst on to the Australian charts with a number one hit in July, 1976 with "I Like It Both Ways". A follow up hit came in November, 1976 with "Too Hot To Touch", which reached number 19, from their self-titled album Supernaut.
In 1978 Supernaut relocated to Sydney and shortened their name, their hair and changed their attitude. They opted for punk/new wave garage style and became "The Nauts". They released an album (produced by Robie Porter) under that name in 1978. The album was widely acclaimed by critics but sales weren't forthcoming and they disbanded in 1980.

These guys sound good, musically they're the East Coast version of WASTED YOUTH. Unfortunately they seem to have no real purpose other than trying to sound as hardcore as possible. Song titles like "Kill Yourself" and "Hardcore Rules" c'mon, we've heard it before. But they have potential - a strong dose of originality could make this a great band. (Tim Tonooka, from Ripper #7, 1982)

Sounds like Donald Duck on vocals, if the song was long enough to detect it. From Guillotine #6, 1983 )

Bit of an odd one this. Atrocious cover, atrocious name and an even more atrocious dress sense ! You would be forgiven for thinking it would be some racist claptrap. Instead you get a paean to youthanasia 'A Mercy Killing' over a semi acoustic jazzy track sounding more like Caravan. The same applies to the last track 'Pornography' which has extra weird noises to boot. The middle track, the live 'I'm The One', is the pick of the bunch. A fuzzed up psychedelic rocker.
All very strange if you ask me and sounds like musos disguised as punks. Released on White SS Records 1978. Weird!

ALLEYCATS ~ Nothing Means Nothing Anymore b/w Give Me A Little Pain 7in.

(LOM22 — released March 1978)

Dianne Chai: vox, bass

Randy Stodola: vox, guitar

John McCarthy: drums

DB: The Alleycats were from Lomita in South Bay. Michigan emigre Randy Stodola was the songwriter/guitarist and driving force, with a penchant for surreal narrative in his lyrics. His wife, Dianne Chai, on bass, and John McCarthy on drums made for one of the tightest outfits around. Musically they probably most resembled meat 'n' potatoes more than any other Dangerhouse punk act.
The Alleycats was really my first opportunity to really get to run a session and everything they did just ran like clockwork. We just basically stood there letting the tape run. It was amazing how professional some of these bands were. At this point we were starting to get recognition for the fact that other people had tried to put out things like that but had a very hard time getting them to sound professional. BMF: Black vinyl only. 2500 pressed in two batches January 1978 - April 1978. Two picture sleeves issued: a black & white "live shot" foldover PS and a color "lounge" PS which is simply a double-sided 7" x 7" square.

Dr. Feelgood are a British pub rock band, which was formed in mid 1971. The name of the band, Dr. Feelgood, is slang for heroin, or for doctors who are prepared to overprescribe drugs. In 1962 the name was adopted by the American blues pianist and singer Willie Perryman (also known as "Piano Red") who recorded his song "Dr Feel-Good" as "Dr Feelgood & The Interns". The song was covered by several British beat groups including Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, who used it as the b-side to their 1964 single "Always and Ever", from where it was chosen by the band. (Wikipedia)

.

Although producer Richard Gottehrer gives Private Practice a sound that's just a little too clean and restrained, the album nevertheless is a fine set of professional R&B and rock & roll. The material on the album is a little uneven, but with the assistance of Nick Lowe, the Feelgoods wrote a pair of tight, catchy rockers in Milk and Alcohol and It Wasn't Me, which stood out among the entertaining, yet generally generic, songs.
