One Way System - Give Us A Future - (Live at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, UK,1996)

HITS 2 22b ONE WAY SYSTEM Give Us A Future One Way System's initial line-up was Craig Halliday (guitar), Gavin Whyte (vocals), Tez Mcdonald (drums) and Gaz Buckley (bass), .[3] A demo of the song Jerusalem recorded by that lineup was later included on the A Country Fit For Heroes compilation album, released in January 1982 - Catalogue number Oi3 - which reached No. 4 in the UK Indie Charts. David Ross joined the band from Poulton-Le-Fylde band, Zyklon B [4] as second guitarist and in 1981 Blackpool's Lightbeat/Beat The System label, released the No Entry EP: A-side Stab The Judge b/w Riot Torn City and Me and You, featuring all 5 musicians.[5] After some early personnel changes (Tez Mcdonald joined The Fits and it was decided that there was no need for two guitarists so Halliday left, resurfacing years later in Sick 56), the line-up settled down as Gav Whyte on vocals, Dave "Crabby" Ross on guitar, Gary Buckley on bass and Tommy Couch on drums. The Give Us A Future 7" was the first release (ANA1) on Cherry Red's Anagram Records in 1982.[6] In the same year, Anagram also rereleased No Entry as the Stab The Judge EP (OWS2) and the single version of Jerusalem. One Way System became the first signing to Anagram with the release of their All Systems Go LP following the success of Give Us A Future in the indie charts and the band being featured on the front cover of UK national music paper Sounds (magazine).[7] Between 1982 and 1984 the band had five Indie Chart hit singles and two Top Ten albums.[8][9] A U.S. West Coast tour alongside Circle Jerks in 1984 was abandoned when Keith Morris broke his neck, although the band managed to salvage one date with Suicidal Tendencies. http://www.cherryred.co.uk
