Description
Bona Dish were a scratchy pop punk group from Hertfordshire villages, brought together by their love of the Velvets, Supremes and each other. They were cool, handsome and gorgeous. The songs are simple, but at the same time complex. The dichotomy of a two female, two male line-up added a tension that was both sexual and musically fragile. You feel it might all fall apart any second, but it rarely does.
After their cassette in a tube ploy worked for a John Peel play, the band released a cassette on In Phaze and disbanded not long after. Here, Bona Dish are a rediscovered gem with The Zaragoza Tapes, showcasing the zest and spontaneity that gripped the UK DIY scene of the time; their music easily stands the test of time against contemporaries like Television Personalities, The Homosexuals and Marine Girls. This release marks the first vinyl and CD release for Bona
Dish, their complete recorded output compiled and remastered.

Bona Dishs avowedly DIY aesthetic was coupled with a genuine pop flair, and songs like 8am stand comparison with the very best independent music of the era. Fact Mag
The perfect meeting of jangle-pop simplicity and post-punk disorderall crystalline vocals and hummable melodies, with enough rhythmic instability and scratchy violin to keep your ears on alert, and perhaps even hooked. The Fader
