Scott Gildersleeve Portsmouth
- Song For Brooke / Best Kiss 7" no label 8104Y44, 1981 PS
Objects/Queers solo with some help from a couple other of the Queers.
Quite endearing pop which is good enough to stay in my collection, but
not punk at all.[JF]

Nubs Manchester
- I Don't Need You (Cause I Got Me) / Dogs 7" NCS 800242, 1979 NS
Last Laugh HAW-023, 2012 NS
A-side is great, like a lost Mentally Ill or Maids tune. The flip

(Is There Life After Sex? / You've Been Having Sex With Dead People Again /
Ed Gein // You Don't Have To Be Smart / I Hate This Place / I Was A
Cosmonaut, You Were A Mermaid / Ant Brain)
Lead by Scott Guildersleeve, pre-Queers and pre-solo. Reminds me of some of
Peter Laughner's stuff, oddly enough. Often described as a not-so-good
record but I like it.[JF]

Selfless SFLS-21, 1993 PS
A Proud Tradition reissues the first two 7"s.
Shadow Boxer
- Love Letters / Man About Town 7" NCS, 1979
This is a lo-fi hard rock record. The obvious noteworthy factor is that
it's on the Nubs label. Not punk, though.[JL]
Various - Home Grown In N.H.: Rock N' Roll In The Granite State Vol. I LP
NCS 8202, 1982

Time / Nubs - German Lugar // BOP - I May Be Wrong / Small Talk - Only Yourself
/ Greg Alan - Dancin' Lady / Tony Camaro And Vertical Verve - Little Suzie /
Mannequin - Let Me Take You / Whisky Train - Watch The Lady Fall)
First of two regional comps featuring the Nubs, who are new wave here. The
rest is an uninteresting mix of various rock/pop subgenres.[JF]

Like the above, also with a new wave track from the Nubs. The only other
track of note is Knightmare's first song which is a punk/metal cross.[JF]
