THE ABS
About
Hailing from Newport, South Wales, THE ABS were one of the leading UK melodic punk bands of the late 80s. The latest band to be given the Boss Tuneage Retro Series treatment, their back catalogue is made widely available again for the first time in almost 15 years. From the legendary debut single “Grease Your Ralph” through to releases on both Vinyl Solution and Link Records, through to final album “Nail It Down” “A WOP BOP A LOO BOP… A COUGH, WHEEZE FART!” tells the whole of THE ABS story, with liner notes on the history of the band from singer/guitarist Baz Oldfield.
A WOP BOP A LOO BOP...
A COUGH, WHEEZE, FART!
