Sidcup,a borough of south-east London on the northern edge of das immigration Kapital of south east England.To be more precise ,Kent, where,in 2026 you can easily pop down Dover way and waste another grey afternoon picnicking on the white chalky cliffs watching the illegal immigrants struggling in their vastly overcrowded rubber dinghys, and count the dead children recovered by the coast guards.
The last thing one would be thinking about would be the minor incursion of NWOBHM into the chalky hillocks of the Kentish coastline. Kent Rocks the boats, but Human trafficking Kills......maybe Kent Kills could be a superior title for these sad ol'days. In fact if most of these desperate migrants were subjected to 40 minutes of "Kent Rocks" they,to a man, would paddle back to France screaming. I may send a copy to the despicable Racists in the UK Parliament,as a suggestion on how to defend our shores from these brown skinned chaps in a more humanitarian way....showing them pictures of Sidcup on their way to ensure that they will never return. Admittedly, Sidcup is a marginally better option than Gaza,Eritrea or any other Genocide saturated hell hole, but boredom does kill, even in Kent.
Having labeled this provincial compilation as strictly NWOBHM,I realise this is untrue. There's some New Wave,Indie Pop and a splash of Minimal Synth pop too!? Well,its got a NWOBHM Label title,and at least 50% of it is classic NWOBHM....so as far as I'm concerned its a NWOBHM comp from the provinces of coastal Britain in 1981 when Goth and Metal fought it out on the Beaches....minus the migrants of course,and fought it out on the Landing Grounds of provincial Kent,where the Gothic Operation Sea-Lion was well under way. In hindsight, i'm not sure who won,but, Iron Maiden did,somehow,conquer India,whereas I can't see many Bauhaus T-Shirts being worn on the streets of New Delhi.
There was a White Witch who worked in the same council run small business space as us. A bunch of Goth's worked a few units down the corridor from us,and made Goth Clothing.The one that they called "V" used to daub herself in white foundation,with black eyes, and the usual Goth regalia.
The Indian sweat shop further down from us had a problem, as the Traditional Indian Ladies refused to enter the building one day.When asked why, they cited the "Witch" in Unit 12/13. This was only resolved when she agreed to remove the white pan-stick and scale down the goth stuff.....which..haha...get it?....I thought was rather decent of her? Where is 'V' now I wonder? Probably ruling the underworld with pure evil arcing from her black fingernails....which interestingly was Syd James' character in "Carry On Don't Lose Your Head", otherwise known as Sir Rodney Ffingham aka 'The Black Fingernail'....a piss-take of the Scarlet Pimpernel....such sophistication? Such Class?....rather like NWOBHM herself?
