Of course it's a 7", but not "unknown" ... just rarely pops up. |

Here's an article on ALVERNA GUNN by Neil Jeffries from the "Armed & Ready" section of issue 12 of Kerrang! magazine:
You could be forgiven for thinking that the only kind of rock to come out of Lowestoft is the long, thin, pink variety with the town’s name running all the way through. Thanks to Alverna Gunn though this is not the case.
This superbly named four-piece (the moniker supposedly comes from an ex-Crufts champion!) have been together in their present form for a little over two years. Drummer Paul Hale provided both the name and the initial drive when he teamed up with Keith Thacker (vocals), Mark Holmes (guitar), and Steve Gamble (bass).
Although the lads (average age 20) can’t put their collective finger on a single common influence, Budgie and AC/DC would seem firm favourites. Not surprisingly then, Alverna Gunn provide aggressive, punchy rock and, while none of it has yet appeared on vinyl titles such as ‘Once Bitten Twice Shy’ (not the Ian Hunter song) and ‘East Or West’ certainly merit this kind of exposure.
Record companies, however have chosen to ignore the latest demo-tape-despite its magnificently hard-edged guitar sound but undaunted, the Gunn soldier on, rehearsing in a wind-swept community centre annexe, up to their ankles in cigarette butts and leads.
In between numbers they bemoan the lack of local venues, though they’ve been fortunate enough to get one-off support slots with the likes of Budgie, Samson, Hawkwind and Lionheart. The solution, they agree would be a move to London but they’re caught in the Catch-22 situation of needing a deal to finance that kind of step.
In a later general article about the NWOBHM in Kerrang!, Jeffries added this info on Alverna Gunn:
The band has long since splintered but the driving force, drummer Paul Hale, (who long ago nearly joined Samson), has soldiered on with the Bash Street Kids, who won studio time in Rolling Stone Bill Wyman's nationwide talent search competition.
Hope this info is of some use/intrest. |

It's actually not a Vinyl Release nor Demo (???) ,but I found it intriguing because it's a live recording of unknown band called "HUNGRY YEARS" (???) From UK / London and recorded live back in 1983 (See Uploader Description) :

THE JAKOBIANS
They have released at least one single but not sure if it's NWOBHM or just plain rock. Any info about those guys ? |

I'm unfamiliar with the band, so the generic description may be spot on, but Discogs puts the indie tag on many releases because they were on independent labels rather than majors, rather than to denote an "indie" style.
The name of the band doesn't fill me with much hope that they'll be NWoBHM though. |
