Sounds Like: THE GREAT INDOORS....... ( & THE OUTDOORS SPAKE SAID THIS).........Strong, spikey stuff Id say JOHN PEEL.........Mighty mangled tunes and riffage, great lyrics and attitude, a fine name, what more dyou want from a group ?! JOHN COOPER CLARKE.........In a musical world dominated by pre-packaging and general creative insincerity, let no one accuse The Courtesy Group of going with the flow this is music sans frontieres, eclecticism taken to art-form ROB HAYNES (METRO).........The Courtesy Group is the sore thumb of rock n roll groups. Tradesmans Entrance is essential listening for anybody who never found the words to catch the insult; as it is for anyone who knows that deepest beauty lies inside the raggety things. FYFE DANGERFIELD (GUILLEMOTS).........This group ROCK ! LYDIA LUNCH.........A driving rhythm section and poetic- yet relevant- lyrics which will knock the sleep out of your eyes. A very forceful and unforgettable band. CHAZ JANKEL (IAN DURYS CO-WRITER & BLOCKHEADS' M.D.).........Their In The Rock, On The Rock is the best thing about everyday Brum that Ive heard for a long time. ROB LLOYD ( THE NIGHTINGALES).........Real charm ! Its nice to see and hear people developing their own way. DAMO SUZUKI
