Formed in 1978, they started out with 2 acoustic guitars and a cymbal
nicked from school. In 1980 They played their only gig; supporting 'Acoustic Punk Poet'
Patrik Fitzgerald at Bowes Lyon House, Stevenage. They'd only found a drummer two days
earlier, and had called themselves The Reekers. In 1981 they recorded and released
this prime slice of 'DIY punk', under the name The Clefts, this is another fine example
of The Desperate Bicycles philosophy; It Was Easy It Was Cheap Go and Do It.
Released on their own label; Rifle Rack and sounding like UK Decay and Joy Division
meeting the Swell Maps and Crisis in the Garage of a suburban house.
