The Users were a punk rock band formed in Cambridge, UK, that was active between 1977 and 1979.〔(The Great Indie Discography ), p. 80 (1999)〕 ==History== In 1977, Cambridge record dealer Lee Wood founded Raw Records, and quickly recorded The Users in March of the year, releasing the single ''Sick of You''/''I'm In Love Today'' on May 5, 1977. ''Sounds'' magazine stated that it "burns into your brain without compromise."〔Heylin, Clinton. (Babylon's burning: from punk to grunge ), p. 265-66 (2007)〕 Despite only releasing two singles and being active for less than three years, the band developed a lasting cult following. BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel placed their first single ''Sick of You'' in his chosen Festive Fifty chart of 1977, and after his death it was revealed that he'd kept it as part of his favourite singles of all time.〔(Times Online - Inside John Peel's record box ) 〕〔(John Peel's 1977 Festive Fifty )〕 The single was later reissued in 1999 and 2006 by Damaged Goods.〔(Raw Records - Official Website )〕 Guitarist Chris Free, would find some success as the writer of Tracie Young's 1983 hit single, "Give It Some Emotion".〔(Punk77 - History of The Users )〕 In October 2008 they finally released their first album, ''Secondary Modern: 1976-1979'', on Bin Liner records (part of Detour Records).〔("Secondary Modern" at Detour Records - Official )〕 In 2007, Spin magazine named "Sick of You" one of the 20 best singles of 1977 by bands who not yet released an album.〔(The 20 Bets Singles of '77 ), ''Spin (magazine)'', October 2007, p. 71〕 Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys has cited the single as one of his favorite singles in terms of production when his band recorded 1980's ''Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables''.〔(1 October 2005).
