That's one of the Great Lost Singles of the Eighties for sure. Come to think of it, those guys are one of the Great Lost Bands of the Eighties as well.
Anyway, I bring it up because that video -- which was briefly in heavy rotation on MTV back in the day -- has been unavailable online for public consumption for quite a while (some kind of legal issues, or so I'm told). So I was delighted when I recently discovered that it had shown up on YouTube again.
I should add that the Broadcasters aforementioned album is killer from stem to stern -- totally rocked out in a sort of classic proto-pop punk, Brit Class of 66-68 way; think The Yardbirds meet The Move and then they all go out to lunch at Boston Market. It's long out of print, alas, but you can -- and should -- pick up a good used copy (CD or vinyl) over at Amazon HERE.
Meanwhile, because I love you all more than food, here's a 1990 live clip of a later incarnation of the band (as The Roues Brothers, under which moniker they continue to perform to this day) having a go at Them's "Gloria."
Featuring some guest asshole whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels up front on vocals. 😎
It's a long story, but let's just say that (as you can probably see) everybody involved was having a very good time. 😎😎
