The Popguns - Peel Session 30th September 1990

The Popguns formed in Brighton in 1986 and their first release was a track called "Where Do You Go" which was contained on a flexi disk which was given away free with an issue of "How Many Beans Make Five", a Brighton fanzine of the mid to late eighties. Their first proper single "Landslide" was issued the following year through Medium Cool records whose roster also included acts such as The Waltones, The Siddleys and The Corn Dollies. The next two singles were in my opinion the best records the band produced. "Waiting For The Winter" & "Someone You Love" were released in 1990 on the interesting Midnight Music label. I say interesting not just because of the music but mainly because all of their singles were released on one sided seven inch singles which came in nice blue company branded sleeves and were therefore begging to be collected, which I did. The band released the album "Eugenie" in 1990 which was a compilation of just about every track the band had previously released and followed it with a couple more impressive singles including the particularly good "XXX" ep which was a four track twelve inch and included the brilliant "Put Me Through It & Living In Sin" a copy of this record should exist in everyone's collection.

The Popguns recorded two sessions for the Peel program, both of which come from the 1990 period. This was the second, broadcast in the autumn of that year.
