The Users – Kicks in Style b/w Dead on Arrival (Warped, 1978)

Second 45 by these deceptively American-sounding UK punkers who’re probably best remembered for their appearance on Killed by Death #1 and the fact that their debut single was the first release on the UK’s preeminent punk rock imprint: Raw Records. These brits certainly didn’t fall prey to the sophomore slump + they even managed to live up to the rep bestowed upon 'em by the press. Total Ig worship done right and the fact that this was accomplished by a bunch o’ limeys remains a perplexing occurrence indeed.

That’s all you get this time, pals! I’m really excited about next week’s entry and I can’t stay focused. Check back next Saturday for an extra-special installment!
