The Tights - Bad Hearts/It/Cracked(7"Single 1978)

The Tights are an English punk rock band from Worcester. The band's only two singles were released by the Cherry Red Records label: "Bad Hearts" / "It" / "Cracked" (1978) and "Howard Hughes" / "China's Eternal" (1978). After John Peel played "Bad Hearts" on BBC Radio 1, this single made it to number six in the UK punk chart. Follow-up "Howard Hughes" reached number four in the same chart. After playing their farewell gig at the Marquee Club, London, The Tights split in 1979.
In 2004 the band reformed.

One of my faves. They played the Mars Bar, Worcester, back in March, supporting The Samples, also from Worcester. They were great. I knew Malcom Orgee back in the day. Smashing chap. Always happy to have a chat with you.

I think that's the gig that was covered very favourably by Sounds at the time.
