Screemer-In The City



Fronted by former student of Lindsey Kemp, Screemer was just too late to hit it big, if they had hit in '73 or '74 who knows what kind of great records they could of put out.

This is the A-Side to Screemer's second single, called In The City, that was put out on Arista in 1977.

It has a much different sound than the song they are known for, Interplanetary Twist, which can be found on the great compilation on Cherry Red Records, Boobs: The Junkshop Glam Discotheque. It seems to me like they knew they had to go a different direction after the flop of their first single on Bell and this was it. It's a much more stripped down affair, but still has it's own unique charm. Much less Glam then their last outing, but it still a great song that could of fit on T. Roth and Another Pretty Face's Face Facts album.

Look to the top right hand corner to download any of these tracks that you see here.

Leave me some comments and tell me what you guys would like to see and I will be happy to try and help.
