Penetration, the new-wave / post punk band from County Durham, have their first two studio albums, Moving Targets and Coming Up For Air, re-issued by Cherry Red Records on 6 December 2024.
The 2 CD set features the powerful two studio albums plus extra tracks and demos. Moving Targets and Coming Up For Air were made to be played loud, and they still sound great, 45 years plus after their initial release.
Disc one features the band’s debut album Moving Targets from 1978, and includes the singles Don’t Dictate, Life’s A Gamble and Firing Squad, plus a collection of bonus and demo recordings (the Race Against Time Demos).
Disc two concentrates on the Coming Up For Air album from 1979, and includes the singles Danger Signs and one of my favourite songs from the era, the new wave classic Come Into The Open, plus live versions of Stone Heroes and Vision.
The booklet features lyrics and press adverts from the time. This is a great collection if you don’t own these albums on CD, and they will be enjoyed by fans of new wave music from the late 70s.
“Come into the open, there’s nothing left to hide.”
The band reformed in 2001, and still record and tour. Follow the band via Pauline Murray’s website.
