Adverts, “Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts” (Link, 1990; originally released Bright, 1978)
The explosion of creativity and freedom that was ’77 UK punk had many sides. The Adverts were the ultimate expression of its utopian/idealist strain. The sound was melodic anthems delivered in a flurry of charged, ringing guitar and anxious rhythms trying to outrun themselves. The message was make a break for it, the future is around the corner, it’s now or never. The title was not a joke.
