Pointed Sticks - Perfect Youth LP cover. A "comic" drawn face of a woman made up quite new-wave-y, with boldly outlined eyes and big hair. Pointed Sticks in jagged letters above. Below, upside down, the title. The black LP plays on a vintage, restored Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 linear-tracking turntable to the right.
Pointed Sticks - Perfect Youth
When @TheVinylApe was thinking about a pop album the other day, and picked the GoGo's, this Vancouver band came to mind, and this was the only album they released before breaking up (they reformed in 2009, 39 years later).
Undeservedly [β¦]

We're on the presses with Pointed Sticks debut 'Perfect Youth' which is getting a 45th Anniversary re-ish. The Bob Rock helmed LP is an absolute punk & power-pop classic. The only Canadian band to sign to #StiffRecords. #nicklowe #elviscostello #thedamned #iandury #pointedsticks #vinyl #punkvinyl

One of the earliest #Vancouver Punk bands.
On Drums is #KenMontgomery, better known as #Dimwit, older brother of the great #ChuckBiscuits

Ian Tiles, an original from the beginnings of Vancouver punk (Victorian Pork etc.) has drummed with The Pointed Sticks for decades. The Sticks, a stalwart of the early Vancouver scene, although more power pop than punk, have just returned from a European tour. Photo from Victoria show in Sept. Don Denton photo
