From the ashes of the short lived and sharp suited South Londoners; The Sid Presley Experience, rose The Godfathers and The Unholy Trinity. Both bands maintained the style and sound of their former band, think Sid Vicious meeting Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix and that’s what you get, several of the 6 tracks on Rise To The Occasion , The Unholy Trinity’s only release are old Sid Presley numbers, including a cover of The Heartbreakers Take A Chance. The whole affair was recorded and mixed on a shoestring budget over a couple of days in April 1985. The end result is rough’n’raw just like a rock’n’roll record should be. The Godfathers Suck On This Chicago EP, doesn’t actually exist, it’s 4 live tracks; Those Days Are Over/ I’m Unsatisfied/When Am I Coming Down/Cold Turkey recorded in 1988 at The Cabaret Metro in Chicago that I culled from the b-sides of a couple of their singles and repackaged for the purpose of this post , more great rock’n’roll. Anyway here ya go with THE UNHOLY TRINITY and THE GODFATHERS. Enjoy!
