Desperate Bicycles - Another Commercial Venture (1977-1979)

the medium was tedium (good track on this gem)

A great compilation from an incredible underrated band. These guys are a fantastic mix of garage rock, new wave, and britpop quirkiness. Very catchy. This album easily distracts making you wanna hop around like a kangaroo. Love it! oi. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS if you are fans of 60's garage rock and post punk groups such as Television Personalities and the silliness of Family Fodder.
