Beat Rhythm Fashion - No Great Oaks 7" (1982)


Coming out of the post punk movement of the late 70's Beat Rhythm Fashion created melodic moody intelligent songs of open chords and hypnotic drums.

The band were the brainchild of Brothers Dan and Nino Birch who as teenagers found themselves resident in the creatively inspiring environment of Wellington New Zealand in the late 70's and early eighties. There was a strong post punk arts scene there called the terrace scene so named because it revolved around a few houses on the street 'the terrace' up behind the main business district of wellington.

hey there
Greatly appreciate the support and attention you give these great bands. I'm happy for you to leave this single up on your site as a download in this case but would appreciate you directing your readers to where they can purchase this material legitimately. In Beat Rhyth Fashion's case the band collected and reissued their early singles on CD in 2008 and you can pick it up from the label website
http://www.failsaferecords.com/catalogue/index.html, or the mighty http://www.smokedcds.com, or directly http://www.smokecds.com/cd/42352?osCsid=97ccojkqai7slj726d3rqgovh3.

Smokedcds.com stocks many of the discs you list on here and it would be great to see links to things like the bats renderers and terminals albums go there, supporting this indie outlet and getting some money back to the bands so they can continue to make great recordings for ust to enjoy.

you can even get it for download at http://www.amplifier.co.nz/release/33494/bring-real-freedom.html

once again really appreciate the love and attention you put towards this blog and the music you love and hope you'll do your best to see the bands get something for their genius and what they've given us.

cheers.
