Single release by Danish punk rock band Dream Police consisting of vocalist Johnny Concrete (aka John Østergaard Frandsen), guitarist Michael Krickau, bassist S. E. Frog (aka Svend Erik Mortensen), and drummer Michael Anthony (aka Michael Kirk). This formation of the band is the third and last incarnation of the Dream Police. Johnny Concrete founded and led the label No Aarhus, on which he issued some live concerts featuring American 'hardcore punk' artists The Minutemen and Black Flag - this is the only vinyl release from the label.
I purchased the single almost without no knowledge about the band. All I knew was that they took part in the Danish compilation album Pære Punk from 1979, an album I purchased in the early 80s. Their contribution on that wasn't an unforgettable one, and this only follows closely in that regard. The band plays a garage rock-styled, or proto-punk version of the original punk rock with bonds to style of MC5.
