Biography

Responsible for the first two releases on [l=Cherry Red], Worcester outfit The Tights were described by label boss [a=Iain McNay] as "Malvern's answer to The [a=Sex Pistols] - 15/16-year-old kids in a punk band." Originally named The Jerks (because they began by writing "jerky songs"), The Tights debuted in June 1978 with [Link], a Single of the Week in Record Mirror and endorsed by [a=John Peel]. September follow-up [Link] was a tribute to the legendarily eccentric America tycoon, but the band were unable to commit to regular gigs and they broke up the following year.
