THE DIRECT HITS were active on the 60s and Mod Revival circuit for the first half of the 1980s, issuing a string of now highly collectable records. Having evolved out of new wave band The Exits, THE DIRECT HITS formed around 1981 and signed to Whaam! Records, the label run by TV Personalities frontman Dan Treacy. First single ‘Modesty Blaise’ was a perfect blend of power pop, Mod rock and 60s stylings. Today, it sounds like Britpop over a decade too early! Compiled and designed by DIRECT HITS’ frontman Colin Swan, Here, There Or Anywhere is a comprehensive collection of the band’s output – and their first CD reissue for many years. Alongside ‘Modesty Blaise’ are tracks from their cult debut album Blow Up, issued on Whaam! in 1984, 1985 single ‘She Really Didn’t Care’, rare live tracks and a few selections from their second album House Of Secrets.
