The Brandos - A Matter Of Survival

[@chuckroast01]

The Brandos are one of those really great bands that nobody knows about. So underrated!

[@satanel77]

GREAT band, The Brandos - I love them!

[@richbrout16]

Bought this album when it came out and loved it start to finish! Loving it all over again! Love that they did songs About Triangle Fire and Gettysburg and I love "Light of Day"! Great Band!!!

Saw them perform with The Pretenders in 87', performed every track off the album. Bought it that night at the concert still lisen to it Still Kicks Ass!

[@ernslo]

Thanks for the kind words. Back in '87 we were performing every song off the album except 'Come Home'. By the way, we never played with The Pretenders. I definitely would remember that! :)

I first saw the band as the support act for INXS in the late 80's. The next day I bought a copy of Honor Among Thieves. And I still turn my friend's on to this album. Timeless!

Met Dave 20 years ago at the popcom in Cologne. The first record company had done anything unprofessional with Brandos first longplayer so the tapes were lost. With the next company it seemed to run out better, but al least it wasn't the success they should have. The records were fantastic at that time and the performance on stage was unbelievable! I am very happy that they are still there and do what they have to do. Should be stars today, but the business was never fair. Saw them several times alive and would like to see them again. Although my "gunfire-shirt" does not fit anymore. 🤣

Sounds like Bodeans meets Blue Öyster Cult. Great music needless to say. Just pure rock.

[@Tokeland9]

Wow! Bodeans meets BOC is about perfect. Seriously 👍.

[@Tokeland9]

Very underrated band.

Bella fantastico musica :)

Drank a lot of underage beers to this one in the late 80s!

It was 1987 when this was released. It would be great to have Come Home downloaded here...

[@ldolphin34]

It's just not fair how any hack can release an album today, but IRS records died and took the momentum away from this fine, hard-charging band that should have been as big as Green Day and REM today.

[@jarirusi]

@TheAnymajordude Yes it was. I bought this fine lp as it arrived on stores.
