That's a hugely influential 20 page piece (at least for me) on MOJO Magazine dated back in May 1996 (just a month before my school graduate...wow) and it's written by the
exceptional drummer of The Kursaal Flyers and The Records and now an even
cooler music author (among them of course the
No Sleep Till Canvey Island book),
Will Birch. Back then of course (again!), no internet blah-blah-blah, so this more or less (more!) became my guide and source for quite many beloved (till now and ever) bands and gangs. From Dr. Feelgood, Nick Lowe and Eddie & the Hot Rods, to the Count Bishops, Graham Parker and Ducks Deluxe, this is probably the best effort ever committed on paper about punk rock's true and unsung forefather and gatecrasher. It's the story of Pub Rock served up just in time (Saturday night)... Raise a glass to the regulars!
