Two Tone Pinks were formed in Salford, Manchester from the ashes of New Wave combo ‘Snyde’ in 1979, and took their name from a type of speed that was being taken by Mods who attended the all-nighters in the 60’s.
Taking their influences from bands such as The Buzzcocks, The Sex Pistols, The Jam, The Who and lots of Ska and Mod style music from the 60’s, the band played their first gig in support of 2-Tone heroes ‘The Selecter’ in August 1979. They soon established a reputation as a great live act, and gigged around the UK with the likes of The UK Subs, The Vapors, The Ruts, Salford Jets, The Killermeters, The Circles, Run 229, and Fast Cars.
Even though the band were going down a storm on the live circuit, they had trouble getting anyone to release their music on vinyl, so put out a cassette EP featuring some demos.
Replying to an advert in ‘Sounds’ magazine, the band found themselves appearing on the now very rare and collectable ‘A Sudden Surge of Sound’ compilation LP with their song ‘Don’t Lecture Me’.
Following this the band split in 1980 after a few arguments within the group, leaving behind nothing but the cassette EP and the compilation appearance.
Until now, that is, as Detour Records have tracked them down, and got all of their recorded material (14 tracks, 13 of which are previously unreleased) and have lovingly put it together, with help from the band on this wonderful CD.
With great full-colour packaging put together by the band and featuring many rare snippets and photos from their personal archive, this is a release that any Mod or Punk collector cannot afford to be without. This is the first release every by this band and includes the complete studio recorded output plus some choice live tracks.
