      My friend and I just found a tape of an old 1980s punk radio show. We couldn't identify one song and thought the garagepunk community could help. The lyrics go:

      Fast Attack, Fast Attack, Fast Attack, Fast Attack
      Speed into the ocean but it can't come back
      stopped up for a motion but it won't come back
      its a Fast Attack

      C'mon Russia, C'mon Ronnie
      C'mon Russia, show us what you've got

      OK Ronnie we got the A-Team
      to solve all the problems of the nuclear submarine
      Why should we spend all of our money on a fast attack


      There's more about Russia and Ronnie and Fast Attack 4X


      Any help with this song?

      It's not my show...it's a guy I work with who came across old cassettes of the radio shows he used to do in Hartford.  I'm totally busy at work...I can see if he'll want to put it up on here or on soulseek.  If you don't see it up here in a week, reply here again and see if we can post it.

      Cool, good to hear!

      And... the bespoke radio-show? Is it a private thing, maybe? (if so, I totally understand).

      Cheers.

      If you like kbd style punk, then you'll like a majority of Towers of London.

      @dumfuk. 

      Hey. This thread was so drawing that it actually, finally got me to join the Hideout. Kinda.

      And now that I'm here, I'd like to know if there's any chance of getting a hold of/hearing your said punk radio-show from the '80s?

      Thanks!

      Ps. I've also - without knowing even one of the bands or their music - mail-ordered the Towers of New London vol. 1-compilation. It just looks special and great.

      We found the song!  It is, indeed, called "Fast Attack" by a Connecticut band called the Hangmen.  It is on this out of print record called Towers of New London vol. 1 (thank you, gut fish for tipping us off that this was a New London band).  We just ordered the lp and will upload to soulseek once we get it. 

       

      We heard it on my friend's radio program cassette archive from WRTC in Hartford.

      When i was stationed in New London at Submarine School the college station used to play that song and I loved it! I think the station was WCNI at Connecticut College in New London. If you could upload it would be greatly appreciated.

      I will upload, but I'll have to parse the song from a 90 minute mp3 from a radio show from a long time ago.
