about

The result of years of verbal abuse. Having to carry a violin to school every week left me wide open to ridicule. This continued into my late teens where, just for looking ‘different’, I was subjected to much more of the same, ignorant vitriol. So I thought, ‘I’m in a band now. Sod you. It’s my turn’. It’s a song about taking it. The resilience to keep going. And the goal of having the last laugh.

lyrics

Whispers, from behind my head
Everywhere I go they’re always there
They say ‘Look at him. He’s changed so much
Since then. When we were friends’
What have they done to me I haven’t changed at all
It’s them. I’m up against the wall
Eyes sharp. Watching my every move.
I’ve got to get away from all of this

Night Talk
It’s all over the town it’s all
Night Talk
Trying to rip me down with their
Night Talk
Every word in the book it’s all
Night Talk
Cos of the way I look.

Listen to the things they say
I find it hard for me to turn away
They say ‘The way he acts when he goes out
He must be one of those boys without a doubt’
They talk so low and yet to me it’s so clear
I turn around
But no they disappear
They go behind my back
Instead of to my face
They’ll try their best to make me a disgrace with all of their
Night Talk
It’s all over the town it’s all
Night Talk
Trying to rip me down with their
Night Talk
Every word in the book it’s all
Night Talk
Cos of the way I look.

Oh no. It won’t get me down
I’ll carry on. Keep going on the town
And one day, when we make it great
It’s gonna back fire into their face
All of this

Night Talk
It’s all over the town it’s all
Night Talk
Trying to rip me down with their
Night Talk
Every word in the book it’s all
Night Talk
Cos of the way I look.

about

Dress To Kill Ottawa, Ontario

Andi Cooper and Jim Doran formed Dress To Kill in Liverpool 1984. All songs were recorded on a 4 track cassette player in 1987/88. Their aim was to produce their own kind of electronic pop music.
Their sound has been compared to Ultravox, New Order, Depeche Mode, and Gary Numan.

Now, in 2021, they’ve had their songs digitized, augmented, and produced. Their authentic 80’s sound finally released.
