Swell Maps - Mayday Signals
Swell Maps were formed out of various bedrooms in the mid-70s by Nikki Sudden, Epic Soundtracks, Jowe Head and Phones Sportsman, and became the pioneers of DIY punk.
Mayday Signals is a double-album crammed full of rare and unreleased tracks recorded between 1976 and 1979 from the vaults of Swell Maps founder Jowe Head, including demo versions of two of the bands singles, 'Dresden Style' and 'Read About Seymour.'
