Another one from Bruce Rhodes collection. The 'Mothmen's' debut single released in 1979 on Absurd records. I haven't got much information on 'Mothmen' apart from they came from the North West of England and appeared to be around from 1979 to 1982 releasing four singles and two albums (not bad for a relatively short period).If you do a Google you find lots of info on aliens and x-file stuff, which does have some affinity with the strange pictures on the covers.
For me (Bruce as well) the stand out track is the a-side 'Does It Matter Irene' starts with great guitar then has a strange kind of sound that draws you in, the more you play it the
more catchy it gets. The b-side is another strange one, that starts well but for me wanders away loosing my interest.So leave a comment if you know anything interesting about Mothmen, or just to tell ASFM which track you prefer.
