Bad Noize by He's Dead Jim
In the spring of 1981 several students and layabouts came together as He's Dead Jim, assuming names as befit their mighty ambitions: Neil Smith (guitar) -Colt Coldheart, Martin Hately (guitar) -Zelda Fenderbender, Allan Bell (bass)-Troy Tempest, Neil Christie (vocals)- Johnny Stud, and Murray Alexander (drums)- Flash Zip. Displaying versatility and incompetence in equal measure, Alexander and Bell also handled odd vocal chores, and all involved attempted to play each others' instruments on occasion - in a grand cacophony of uselessness. He's Dead Jim were prolific in the songwriting stakes and committed their first batch of material to tape in Johnny Stud's dad's garage in June, 1981, Bad Noize (for Tuff Trendies). This is that tape, recored live in glorious mono sound on a cassette recorder.
