Absolutely. They don’t get the credit they are due, however, those who know what a good punk rock band sounds like, we can appreciate. I know they are going at a reggae pace, but it’s punk reggae!! 😎 R.I.P Ari. Prayers for her Mum Nora.

Don't care. I'd have got in a bath with Viv Albertine any day of the week. What do you think touring bands full of young punk men were like? Apart from Glen Matlock who Steve Jones complained was 'always washing his feet in the sink'. Maybe The Slits defence against predatory blokes was to stink a bit. Ari up had been stabbed and SA'd before this show happened.

@@TheBergmark I dont blame you. But there are underlying beliefs, thought-patterns which effect which music we like how we perceive it. Since you dont enjoy the music, look within in yourself to find explanations for why. I do it all the time its podssible. The more you do it the easier it will get to articulate your perception of music. Or even everything.
