Straight Eight-I'm Sorry
Logo Records 45, 1980
Straight Eight recorded several LPs smack in the middle of the UK powerpop era, so it isn't surprising that they got it right at least once, and here it is; "I'm Sorry" is catchy, driving, smart, and commercial like the best of its peers. Unfortunately, while they looked the part and had the basic sound, most of the other material I've heard, including the No Noise From Here LP (produced by Pete Townshend) and a couple of other 45s is competent but unexciting. The only discography I could find online was on a NWOBHM website. Can anyone explain why something called the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal would include a band that recorded something as pop as this?
