2.) The Hoax. This English based Punk Rock band released their first 4 track 7" record in 1979 called "Only The Blind Can See In The Dark". Within the next three years they released two multi track 12" EP's "So What" & Quiet In The Sixpennys". The bands last release was the totally classic "Blind Panic" 4 track 7" EP in 1982. All records were self released on the bands own Hologramme Music label. The band split soon after this release and a few of thenmembers went on to be Emergency who released the really good "Points Of View" 7" on the Riot City Record label in 1983. A Compilation of all the Hoax recordings was released on CD by Detour Records entitled "And So It Went 1979 - 1981".
