Song of the Day: January 18, 2005
From City Walls: A Southampton Compilation LP, White Elephant Records, 1980.
Amongst some artsy postpunk bands on the City Walls comp, one is surprised to find the utterly obscure Point Fives with a fine, if typical slab of UK power pop. Their other contribution is the considerably punkier "Stabbed." Steve Mitchell at Low Down Kids says that was probably the extent of the Point Fives' career.

The Point Fives evolved to become Dalek Beach Party. Check out www.dalekbeachparty.com.
Hi all
Could anyone tell me more about this album "city walls a southampton compilation". I can remember this record, but I can't remember all the bands. I am sure there was the Capitals, Catch 22, Mono, and some kind of girl group.
I think Catch 22 became The men they couldn't hang. More info please, maybe where I can get the LP.
