Gig: 5/28/1982, The Alarm, Target Club, Reading

The Alarm recorded 3 demos for EMI at EMI studios, London. Songs included “Lie Of The Land”, “Reason 41” and “The Deceiver”

They practice a stirring, if rather obvious, brand of rock, rather cliched but doubtless very exciting live. Not a bad record, but their debt to The Clash threatens to bankrupt them at times.
