about

Fascinating reissue of 1983 Homosexuals related rarity. Previously released as a cassette on the It’s War Boys label.

During their brief existence, The Fear Merchants effortlessly unleashed a true DIY classic onto unsuspecting ears. At the time of conception, barely released outside of the London DIY-Squat scene, but now proudly unearthed for your listening pleasure by those lovely people at Emotional Response.

What a joy to find this on bandcamp, having missed out on the vinyl rerelease. I'd only heard Strawberry Window prior to this, but I love that song and have done since first hosting it on Radio Scotland, back in the late 80s. This is exactly my kind of music, layered, anthemic guitars and great melodies. At times, it brings to mind another great lost band, The Train Set. Fabulous stuff. richardw27
