The DWOMS formed in 1980 from the pale, smouldering ashes of almost legendary Oxford beat combo 'Kites A-Z' then disbanded in 1981.
The songs on this Soundclick site were salvaged from a cobweb and custard covered cassette tape of the DWOMS recorded live at the Press Ball at Blades in Botley, Oxford, 1981.
Malcolm Edwards: Vocals
Mick Clack: Guitar, vocals
Dave Bowmer: Guitar, vocals
Bob Hundley: Bass, vocals
Perry Smith: Drums
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We played live at the Oxford Press Ball in 1981 then had a brief 25 year break before deciding to do another gig in March 2006 (which never actually happened!)
I've heard a rumour that if one of you makes a mistake - you ALL make a mistake!All comments (2)

Recorded well over 20 years ago this live version of the Malcolm Edwards/Mick Clack composition 'Too Late' is a welcome reminder of what a great band the Dwoms were. I can remember seeing them play many times at the old Caribbean Club in St Ebbes, Oxford in the 1980's- a can of Red Stripe in my hand and a drunken smile on my face -as I danced to such timeless Dwoms classics as 'Falling Out Of An Aeroplane', 'The Station', 'Blood Runs Cold' and 'Johnny and the Dancer'. Granted, the audio quality of this old cassette recording leaves a lot to be desired - but the spirit, passion and energy which is lacking in so much of today's music is clearly evident in Perry Smith's solid percussion, Bob Hundley's bubbling bass, Dave Bowmer and Mick Clack's chattering Stratocasters and Malcolm Edwards' strident vocal chord vibrations. Let's have a Dwoms reunion in 2010 lads! Rooftop Ron and the rest of the world is waiting...
