LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH ‘Stories At Dusk’ Alchemy STRTR168 (2003)
The band formed by Stiv Bators (who sadly passed away in 1990) and the
Damned’s Brian James. This is another low cost compilation from Alchemy and
mixes studio with live tracks. Much of the music sounds like early Alice
Cooper to my ears - check out ‘Walking The Dog’ or ‘Things Go Bump’. There
is punk pop with ‘Method To My Madness’, which rolls along nicely. The live
version of ‘New Church’ drags on a bit but that is the only missable track
on here.
Worth your money and decent introduction to a sadly overlooked band.
