Fiercely working class in stance and attitude, the band eschewed the political ramblings of punkβs first wave and sang about the circumstances that surrounded them and millions of street kids in Britainβs inner cities- Police harassment, street battles and football to name three.
Signed by EMI after playing four local gigs (less than the pistols!) they found themselves playing sell out tours the length and breadth of the UK and seeing their debut album storm the charts. Top of the pops appearances followed, which became the stuff of legend as the band generally ran amok in the hallowed White city studios, finally getting banned from the show for their boisterous behaviour.
Due to overwhelming demand, the band returned to the live circuit in 2000, and have since gone from strength to strength, playing to hundreds of thousands of people across the globe with a live set that is so energetic that it has to be seen to be believed. With the fractionalization of the late β70βs and early β80βs now gone for good, every gig has become a party for fans and band alike.
Led by legendary frontman Jeff βStinkyβ Turner, there has never been a better time to check out the band that inspired a generation with their timeless brand of terrace sing along classics and white hot live set.
