The Squibs were from Aberdeen, Scotland. They were started in the late 70s by bassist Dave Baird who was their key songwriter. Their sound is mod flavored post-punk and, although John Peel was a fan and gave them some exposure, they never went very far. I think this one single is their only release (please tell me I'm wrong) and the guy who sold it to me claimed there were only 750 copies made. A quick search shows that there are at least 4 copies for sale online at this very moment. A bit odd for such a rare record.
After this Dave Baird moved to London and played for a bit with Knox but has since dropped out of music.

This is a great new wave song and I can't believe it's not posted anywhere else. Not on any other blogs or Youtube or anywhere else. The b-side isn't terribly good but the a-side...it shouldn't be this overlooked.
