Have just seen an old Ghosts of Lovers review from Australian magazine '100% Rock Magazine' at:

https://100percentrock.com/2016/12/cd-review-the-ghosts-of-lovers-the-ghosts-of-lovers/

Enjoyed the part where it said: '...the music has more in common with multi-generational Rolling Stones boogie, as viewed through the prism of crushed velvet goth and sneery punk attitude and Hanoi Rocks cool and Johnny Thunders wastedness and even a touch of rockabilly spice...'

Overall quite a fun read!

"Receiver Deceiver by Kronstadt Uprising is a jaunty and upbeat attack on mass media led by the rhythm section with distinctive vocals and a catchy chorus."

Angels in Exile Records are sad to hear of the passing of Chris Bailey, lead singer and co-founder of seminal band The Saints. The Saints wrote many classic songs, but perhaps their biggest and best will always be 'I'm Stranded', which sounds just as incendiary today as it did all those years ago.

Later songs such as 'Temple of The Lord' showed their versatility and breadth of sound, and for me a personal favourite still remains one of the most blitzkrieg covers ever, in their take on the classic 'Lipstick on Your Collar'.

R.I.P. Chris
