Probably my least favorite punk band next to Naked Raygun (and I might also say Sham 69 except they did do that excellent "They Didn't Even Want Us in the USA", lol...) Everything I hate about punk in one band: po-faced, musically conservative...

I can't see how anyone can fail to be impressed with "Alternative Ulster" or "Suspect Device". Terrific. So ner ner x 2.

Fuck, I only said I liked that album cover.
But as we're here - po-faced? Hmmm...
While various middle class and/or public school educated young men & women were shouting about anarchy and riots in 1977, SLF were growing up in Belfast during the Troubles. Growing up in the middle of a war can make people a bit serious and might just feed into your music.
Nothin' for us in Belfast
The Pound so old it's a pity
OK, there's the Trident in Bangors
Then walk back to the city
We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care
They don't even know you know
They just want money
They can take it or leave it
What we need is
(Chorus)
An Alternative Ulster
Grab it change it's yours
Get an Alternative Ulster
Ignore the bores, their laws
Get an Alternative Ulster
Be an anti-security force
Alter your native Ulster
Alter your native land
Take a look where you're livin'
You got the Army on the street
And the RUC dog of repression
Is barking at your feet
Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this were you wanna be?
Is this the only life we're gonna have?
What we need is
(Chorus)
They say they're a part of you
But that's not true you know
They say they've got control of you
And that's a lie you know
They say you will never be
Free free free
Alternative Ulster
Alternative Ulster
Alternative Ulster
Pull it together now.

So, it doesn't make their music any more interesting.

SLF are still marvelous. Seen them at the Lemon Tree, Aberdeen then at the Barrowlands, Glasgow on St. Paddys Day. (these two gigs happen most years) Still brilliant, I love the Hope Street album as I do most of their stuff. Jake Burns is a considerable talent. The interviews of the early days at the end of their first two albums are superb. Alternative Ulster and Suspect Device, the singles did well but the band were gluing together the single sleeves in a Belfast house. Thousands and thousands of them when charts were charets. Changed days!
