Great Nation – Beat The Wall (Canada 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

“Beat The Wall” is a 1986 single by Canadian new wave band Great Nation released on Wide Angle Records. This is the only single released by the band and there is really no other information about them. It’s a shame really because this record really is pretty good and they could have gone further. But for whatever reason, they disappeared into obscurity.
