0024 - A-Heads

Another one-song wonder, No Rule is some absolutely textbook punk from A-Heads. It starts out sounding like it's going to be a bad school band cover of the Jam's That's Entertainment, but quickly gets the ironic intro done before clattering to the end with a sound that, were it recorded in 2002 and not 1982, would be uncomfortably close to Elastica's.

I'm not sure which Elastica song it puts me most in mind of. I thought perhaps Stutter, but I think there might be something closer...

Anyway, A-Heads appear to still be performing, more than 30 years on, but I can't find too much information on them. They're part of Wiltshire's fine punk-rocking tradition and released three albums (on cassette only - very punk) and a couple of 7" singles in the early 80s and saw an 11-track vinyl compilation, Discography 1982-2009, released in the US in 2010.

I like this, for all that it's a bit disposable.
