Crown Of Thorns - Pictures (EP)

Here is a bunch of likely looking lads for your edification. The clothes are in the right direction but the haircuts aren't there, the poses are bad and the music is, frankly, a bit cheesey - still, it was 1983 and these things are forgiveable. Crown Of Thorns actually sound like they come from The Planet 1983 - the Extended Mix is over-produced and remixed to high heaven and 'Pictures', overall, sounds like a stab at popularity while 'The Treatment' is considerably darker and very much like The Danse Society.

I know nothing about them save the small entry on the IRS website and Googles for 'Crown Of Thorns' just throw up more religious references than I care to mention.

Enjoy, or not, as the case may be.
