A: Blackmail
B: Bomb In The Jukebox

Speedtwins was formed towards the end of 1977 and started as a punkrock band. Line up from the start was

Jodie Daniël - vocals
Nico Groen - drums
Leen Barbier - guitar
Vera Groen - vocals + high heels
Jackie - bass

They released their debut-album ‘It's More Fun To Compete’ in 1977, using obscure aliases like Meen Ling, Trix, Helen Heels, Jailbait Jacki and Jody. With a rough sound and live S&M/bondage-like stage-act Speedtwins had quite an impact on the Dutch punkscene. This resulted in a tour with the Sex Pistols (amongst others) and lots of sold out headlining gigs.The band also released their heavy punk version of The Who’s classic 'My Generation' as a single, later followed by a second single 'Football Song' , which was released early 1978. The song was meant as a funny yet cynical protest against the World Soccer Championships in Argentinia that same year. It soon became a classic punk anthem and together with their album ‘It’s More Fun To Compete’ Speedtwins have gained international cult status over the years. Even today there are still Speedtwins fans in countries like Japan and Brazil.
