Blue Siege- Ruins No Longer Remain 12''

Here's a virtually unknown 12'' from UK post-punk band Blue Siege. Definitely a must for fans of Sad Lovers and Giants, For Against, The Chameleons, etc., and also for those who like something a little more jangly (Winter Hours, early R.E.M.). Melodic singing, driving post-punk tracks, and a nice, punchy atmosphere. Prominent use of organ on here, if that's your thing!

Can't find a ton of information about this one, though I do believe it's from 1986. The band released a 7'' just before via Pride Communications, the same label who issued this recording. The 7'' features production from Chris Layhe of the Icicle Works, another touchstone for the band's sound. As for obtaining a copy of this one, there's a few kicking around on ebay and various online record outlets, so snap one up!
