Euro Punk supergroup in the making! Yeah kids these gobbin' clergymen feature Vince Incredible (Ex-HDQ)
on guitar/vocals, Vom (ex-every punk outfit in Europe and beyond) on Drums and John Codger on vocals/bass
outta The Stains, Only Alternative. Considering they live all over Europe... Holland, Germany and the UK to
be exact, this collaboration shows a great dedication and logistical wizardry to even get these fuckers in
a country let alone a studio. So full marks for determination, coz within 48 hours their efforts have paid
off. Not suprising considering their punk pedigree, coz they can certainly knock a tune together. They
bring us a duel vocal, with a well produced dose of tongue in cheek punk rock. A band with loads of hooks
and plenty of humour. 'Oddball' reminds me of the late 70's British new wave era in style. It's got enough
commerciality to make a novel move towards the charts, but with enough grit under the collar to scare
the schooli! es and Records execs back from the brink. Hey, wishful thinking never hurt anyone! The
Spittin Vicars seem to have the same ammo as The Briefs in their studded vestry. They could get your
attention fast, especially with that quirky delivery. And those jangling guitars above a beefy rhythm
track are used to good effect, adding a slick pro touch. The semi crooning vocals with piss taking
lyrics send this track on it's merry way. But it was left their next and best track, the more in your
face '(Aint Going) Back To Babylon' to make you really sit up and notice. This is a very well played song
and shows healthy signs of what's yet to come. It even features a drum solo!!! Well what do you expect with
Vom in the band!? The following tracks are instrumentals of the previous two, or as Vince puts it "the Karaoke
versions". Comes with a good clean production, so look out for the threatened 45 that makes an appearance early
next year after more remixes and! fine tuning!
