With new music still in relatively limited supply early in the year, why not take some time to share a (imho) musthave compilation by one of the most exciting bands to come out of the late ’70s/ early ’80s scene in The Netherlands. De Cylinders gained a cult following with their unique and exciting sound – part punkrock, part power power, part new wave, but above all catchy. Last month, Projectile Platters released a compilation that includes De Cylinders’ I Wanna Get Married (1980), We Must Pay (1980, listen below) and Freddy Mercury (1981) singles, as well as unreleased studio recordings from the same period. Fun fact: the first two 7″ were reissued in 2009 by Sing Sing Records and made the band come out of their retirement for a short while, gaining new fans around the globe.
If a mix of Blondie, The Go-Go’s, The Shivvers, The Rezillos, X-Ray Spex and the Good Vibrations roster sounds good on paper, just wait until you hear De Cylinders. Chartbusters 1972-1982 is a must-have for fans of the band, and a perfect way to introduce yourself to their sound if you’re a newcomer. Pick up your copy today and be prepared to be taken on an unforgettable ride!
