Vital Disorders - Prams. Live TV broadcast

Vital Disorders were from Norwich and, apparently, all had 'fish' related names, such as Suzy Salmon, seen here singing. According to her notes accompanying the YouTube clip, she usually played bass but isn't doing here for some reason.

I heard them via a mixtape made for me in the late 1990's by Julian Smith, a punk pen pal from Middlesex. We used to swap tapes: He did me 70s/80s punk and the contemporary old school punk scene, I did him riot grrrl and post riot grrrl bands and the thrashier end of the twee spectrum. This might not sound like there was much room for overlap, but there occasionally was, perhaps best exemplified by a mutual appreciation of Half Man Half Biscuit and the Bis version of X Ray Spex's 'Germ Free Adolescence'.
