"It was easy, It was cheap, Go and do it" was 'The Desperate Bicycles' mantra. For me the Desperate Bicycles were excellent, not sounding like most classic 'Punk' bands, but typifying the Punk ethos of DIY. Their songs were offbeat, and different to everything else at that time, and I loved it. I don't know why they have not reissued their material, and if they ever do I will be one of the first to buy it (even though I have all of the vinyls). If you do like this then you are in luck as Derek Erdman has collected all of their material in one place.

'Somkescreen' was their debut single, recorded in mono, with the same two tracks on each side. see what you think and leave a comment.
