Swell Maps

Here's the first four singles from a band called Swell Maps. Swell Maps were a 'trashy/garage' style punk/experimental group that came from Birmingham in the UK. Consisting of brothers Epic Soundtracks (real name Kevin Paul Godfrey) and Nikki Sudden (real name Adrian Nicholas Godfrey) two Solihull based teenagers, plus Biggles Books (Richard Earl), Phones Sportsman (David Barrington), John Cockrill and Jowe Head, the band cut the single "Read About Seymour" as their debut in 1977. They're pretty experimental in places and were definitely not one of the more 'standard' sounding punk bands around that time but I still love 'em.
