Description

Original 1985 Uk pressing

After a minor line-up change, the Newtown Neurotics shortened their name to just The Neurotics and came out with Repercussions, more complex and mellow than their first album (Beggars Can Be Choosers), but with the same passion and politics. The Neurotics was one of the most under-valued bands of their time, their so-called soul-punk tunes sound just as good today today as they did 20 years ago. The primarily political lyrics may refer to events occuring in the 80s, but the themes and sentiments are still relevant today and, on listening to the passion and intensity with which these songs are sung, who can doubt that these guys mean what they say? You will like this album if you like any of the following: Billy Bragg, The Jam’s Setting Sons, Stiff Little Fingers, Attila the Stockbroker, Housemartins, Redskins, the first two Clash records, etc.
