The Climb

These are the 2 singles and the demos that the band recorded as The Climb. Ian says “the Climb ones are really the transition from that band and what the T. Doves became.....the Climb stuff before that is more rocky and epic.......the tracks here are a bit of a different approach when I switched from bass to guitar, we lost our drummer, and were listening to a lot of Lloyd Cole & Bunnymen!!”

The 2 singles were released on the Pinnacle record label in 81 and 82. Both written by Ken.
