about

The Bland were from Chesterfield and were familiar to Sheffield gig-goers in the mid-80s, playing frequent gigs at the Hallamshire and elsewhere. Their demo is included elsewhere on STA.
This is their rare LP release, kindly donated to STA by Didz who converted from the original tape 24-bit to WAV. Enjoy the excellent quality!

The Bland were:
Rat (Androo) - vocals
Didz (David) - drums
Plod (Ivan) - guitar

Thanks to Didz and Rat for permission to include this on STA.
Rat recalls.. " hello there, well it was cobbled together in chesterfield and in leek above a cake shop, spent three days and only recorded one track for various reasons haha.. me on vocals (haha) rat, dids on drums and plod on guitar... all recorded together live with some bells and explosions added after haha"
