Priscillas 7inch coverThe Priscillas are an all-girl punk rock band from London. This 7inch is pressed on a milky green wax with black

All My Friends Are Zombies is an instant punk rock classic written in the 1977 mold. All My Friends Are Zombies has the same type of drive as the climax point of Adverts Gary Gilmore's Eyes.

The closest comparison would be bands like The Action Time, Bobbyteens, or even female vocaled equivalents of Art Attacks or The Drones from the group of bands that used to play at the London punk club The Vortex back in 1977.

Should Be Me is not as good as the A-side. It is more pop-punk than the A-side. But is is quite short, so the focus clearly belongs on the A-side, which is a complete winner.

All My Friends Are Zombies is the bands second single. The Priscillas first single was the much poppier Gonna Rip Up Your Photograph b-w Brain Surgeon (you can hear both on the band's website in the 'music' section). Gonna Rip Up Your Photograph had sugar sweet vocals right out of The Bangles. Brain Surgeon even had a touch of Walk Like An Egyptian vocals (though it rocks way harder than The Bangles!).

This is an excellent single - great music, great sleeve, nice colored vinyl. Buy it!
