Western Promise - Justice (1985) [Re-Up]

Western Promise formed during the summer 1983 when four Birkenhead lads coming from different musical experiences met. John McGlone, previously with Fingerprint File and Tears of Joy, would front the band on vocals and guitars. Dave King, formerly with Choir Boys, Ulterior Motive and Five Play Dutch, joined on bass. Mick Clarke, former Frets, Harmonics, Fourmers, Forgotten Image, Second to None, Suspected Greenhouse, and also Five Play Dutch, would play the drums. Phil Fowler (later Thomas Lang) would be the second guitar and keyboard player. The group started off by writing and playing punk and hard rock -oriented numbers, performed in way heavily influenced by the Psychedelic Furs and Pil, and established their identity as a political band. In 1983 Phil Morton wrote about them: “Each member is a committed socialist dedicated to spreading their message through the power and passion of their music. Each member comes from the poorest and roughest places on both sides of the river Mersey”. This line-up only release a demo tape (featuring Uncle Joe / I’ve Been Waiting / Katyn Wood / The Hot Rain / Steelyard). In 1984 Clarke left the band for Shell Collectors (then would join Jenny Lind and Fallen People) and, in December 1984, his place was taken by Sean Butler (formerly with Change to the East). The band released its first single in April 1985.
