Song Of the Day: March 18, 2005


The Spliffs-You Know What They'll Say

Black and White Records 45, 1986


More Australian guitar pop from the 80s. One might think that once he or she has amassed all of the great 45s from the more prominent indies like Citadel and Waterfront and Greasy Pop and AuGoGo that there couldn't possibly be much left. One would be very very wrong. Here's a tip of the iceberg from the perhaps-inappropriately named Spliffs; their breathless pop doesn't suggest marijuana nearly so much as grape soda. This is from their first 7", a three-song disc in an oversized pic sleeve. Three other singles and an LP, House Of Seven, followed.

Fantastic, hook-driven fun like a more sun-drenched, laid back Barracudas, Summer Fun era. sweet
