Another band from the "famous" Attrix record label, here. Perhaps, Piranhas obviously exempt, they're also the best. All of these songs have ska undertones, most obvious in the best song here, Breaking Up New Ground. Well, while not actually groundbreaking, it's certainly a pleasant way to spend ten minutes, listening to this EP. Rick Blair, the man behind The Parrots, died in 1999 and a CD dedicated to him featuring The Parrots and Vol Sec is available through the ridiculously good PunkBrighton website.
Apart from this, The Parrots did a couple of songs, Larger Than Life and Vicious Circle, on Vaultage 78, available here on Youtube. In fact, listen to that whole album, it's got Nicky & The Dots, The Dodgems, Peter & The Test Tube Babies and The Piranhas besides, and what more could you want, you ungrateful swines?
1980, Attrix
