The Action "TVs on the Blink" 12"

This Ottawa band is known for this 12" that was released on Montreco. "TV's on the Blink" is the song that stands out and has been recognized as such by getting put on the Punk History Canada comp and some other Killed By Death like bootlegs. The song was also used on the Montreco sampler "Permanent New Wave". The 12" also contained "I'm Waiting for My Man" which was a Velvet Underground cover. "Downtown Boys" have a story that Ted spoke about in our interview and "Do The Strangle' was to emulate the dance craze songs from the 50's, but with a punk twist. So the track listing is:
1. TV's On The Blink
2. Downtown Boys
3. I'm Waiting For My Man
4. Do The Strangle
