The 1980 Listening Post - Steve Swindells - Fresh Blood

 Steve Swindells - Fresh Blood


October 1980

Steve Swindells

Fresh Blood

Genre: Bowie Pop

3.5 out of 5



Highlights:

I Feel Alive

Shot Down in the Night



That’s really all I got about Steve. He sounds a lot like the artists of the 80s that wanted to BE Bowie and ride the New Wave surf. But, except for a couple tracks here and there, this is like 3rd rate Elvis Costello. If that, even.


Swindells was a member of Hawkwind and, to be honest, they litter the UK Landscape like so much musical detritus.


This isn’t bad. It’s just not something you missed if you didn’t buy it in 1980.
