Fresh Claim was a long running UK band that generally falls into the “alternative” category, while still mixing in other sounds like hard rock and even psych. This was their debut tape, which seems to run the line between UK alternative and mainstream rock. Well written and performed rock, of course. They were active until at least 1995, so this was just the beginning of many releases. After this tape was No Claims Bonus. The songs from this tape were also compiled with two other tapes along with three new songs and released as Outstanding Claims in 1993.
