LURKERS - Sex Crazy LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition colour vinyl.

"Pete Stride – Nigel Moore – Esso – a brand new album from the original Lurkers. Long time fan Ged (Dear Gerald) Babey declares it an album of heads-down, no-nonsense punk rock’n’roll on a par with 'Fulham Fallout' and 'Gods Lonely Men' -but he is on his fourth Stella…

There are a few of us, born in the Sixties, teenagers in the Seventies, lovers of Punk, Rock, beer and good-times, who think of the Lurkers as being just as important as The Clash.

Others may mock and sneer – but the Lurkers were a proper working class rock’n’roll band. Punk Rock was their chance and they grabbed it. There was no pretence. No ‘politics’, no Kings Road manager and they sang about mad girls, good times, bad times, sex and being outsiders.

Forty-three years on the three original Lurkers have presumably hit 60 and have brought out a brand new full length album – something they’d’ve thought unimaginable in 1977.

The surprising thing perhaps is that it’s a very good, unpretentious punk rock’n’roll record – in essence, pretty much the same as Fulham Fallout and Gods Lonely Men. Sonically it’s a bit different, a big fat overdriven guitar sound – but the same melodic, top-string hooks, but basically, song-wise it’s the same. The humour, the simplicity, the tunes are all there." - Louder Than War
