Bogshed - kings of swing: discuss

Got John Robb's Death To Trad Rock book for Xmas -- Tons of context in there, not to mention more bands I never heard of. Am starting to get obsessed again, and wish I'd kept all my Pigbros and Bogshed and World Domination Enterprises and Big Flame etc. EPs and 45s from back in the '80s when almost nobody else in the U.S. was paying attention.

Get yourself bogged. If you choose.

Yeah nothing there is familiar & should be a fun listen. Mostly looking to hear the later peel session tracks in best quality because that was some gold.

been catching up with this thread today, really great read. Listening to the Death to Trad Rock comp on Spotify. Love this kind of thing, always fascinated by UK bands that didn't didn't fit in with whatever the narrative of what was going on in the UK musically was at that point.

I remember hearing there was supposed to be a volume 2 of "Death To Trad Rock".

just discovered this super fun band… correctly guessed there would be an informative ilm thread <3 would have liked to see them in the day, such a great kind of energy. Adventure of Dog!!!
