Past Imperfect New EP from LOVERS OF TODAY

Lovers of Today

Lovers of Today were part of the original explosion of punk in Northern Ireland in the late 70’s.

The band reformed in 2016 following the offer of a gig in Portstewart with Shock Treatment 21 and decided it was worth recording, having never previously released any material.

Past Imperfect

The 3 track EP is a collection of songs from the bands original incarnation some 40 years ago (how did that happen?), reworked and quickly recorded in Southampton. Whilst the playing has improved the tracks still reflect the disaffected tone of the times captured in a pleasingly lo-fi manner. The three songs are

1. Nothing Left to Do

Reggae tinged paean to entertainment in the 70s and idiots at school.

2. Uisce Beatha

Rocking teenage angst and self-centredness with stacks of guitar.

3. No Dancing at the Harp tonight

Punk had its share of dumb violence. Were we happy about that? Course not!
