Hello folks,



If like me you've been enjoying the recently released debut LP "Poets Of England" by the Vermin Poets you may be interested in this lovely 2CD compilation we have coming out soon.



"A Flame From The Fen - The Complete Fire Dept." gathers together all the recordings of legendary 90's garage band The Fire Dept. featuring the lyrics and vocals of lead Vermin Poet Neil Palmer. Due out on May 3rd, you can pre-order by clicking the artwork below.

This 51 Track double CD includes their two albums from the 90’s ‘The Golden Egg’ and ‘Elpee For Another Time’ plus singles and lots of unreleased tracks.



Extensive sleeve notes by Billy Childish.



It has been reported that “The Fire Dept was cursed by three things: drunkenness, ineptitude and a fatal lack of self-knowledge, all three qualities manifesting occasionally and sometimes simultaneously, but always mockingly, in one or all of three members of the group at once.” Whatever truth may lie in this blatant slur the virtue in The Fire Dept lay in their showing that playing rock ‘n’ roll music is not about finesse or soppy haircuts, but about personal truth imbedded within a good pop song.

Formed in 1983 they released 2 or 3 albums, a few classic singles, played the UK garage circuit, often supporting long time friend Billy Childish’s band Thee Headcoats



We still have The Vermin Poets album on both CD and LP if anyone has yet to order. Click on the pic to order.

Lots of great stuff coming in the next few months including Cyanide Pills debut album, Betty And The Werewolves debut album and new single plus great new albums from Fabienne Delsol and The Piney Gir Country Roadshow...



Have a great weekend!
