It’s a return to the Big Gold Dreams box set for this week’s edition of the Scottish song, and it’s one from 1979 that would also qualify for the ‘One Song On The Hard drive’series but is just 18 seconds too long in length for the ‘Songs Under Two Minutes’ series
From the BGD booklet:-
‘Recorded with assistance from Vibrators bass player Pat Collier, this piece of street-smart dystopian desire to get beyond the punk era’s all-pervading sense of urban dread marked the arrival of Gerry Attrick‘s much lauded combo who are still going strong. With three albums released since 2004, a compilation, Religion Is The Biggest Cause of War, arrived in 2013. This was followed by 40 Years of Punk Rock, a 2CD collection of assorted demos, scraps and unreleased recordings. Now in their fifth decade, Fire Exit are growing old disgracefully, and are probably coming to a punk festival near you soon.’
