Fuckin' great British / Oz punk. Got a coupl a' copies of this in stock.
The Eagle Boys were a foursome who had gathered from all corners of the
globe (including two or three from Western Australia) to play a type of
rock based music vaguely reminiscent of 76'ers like Wire, the Saints and
X. They were based in London and played a handful of shows to few. Fans
of modern Australian imports like Bits of Shit or Eddy Current
Suppression Ring might find something to like here. Named for a
notoriously bland national pizza chain (“tinned bomb shelter vegetables,
powdered-dust bases, Carlingroyals20innitcheesesemenscrape, OAP
skin-fold oil and frozen pie meat”), the Eagle Boys were and remain a
truly great band that went well under the radar in their short tenure,
and this EP-mastered by Iron Maiden's recording engineer- serves as a
reminder that if you ain't heard of it, it must be good. (Brendon
