The Bermondsey Joyriders
The 100 Club
London, UK
Friday July 9th
What do you get when you cross classic London 1977 punk with addictive power-chorded rock ‘n’ roll and a heavy sprinkling of Johnny Thunders? Something not far off The Bermonsdey Joyriders – the missing link between the 60s and the 70s. Gary Lammin (ex-Cock Sparrer guitarist) and Martin Stacey…

Batusis: The Old And The New
When Sylvain Sylvain and Cheetah Chrome announced the formation of Batusis, the label ‘punk rock super group’ was quickly touted and with the duo sharing guitar duties and taking turns on lead vocals, the release of their self titled four track EP quickly found a place in the hearts of fans of the 70s era…

Wire
The Relentless Garage
London, UK
Tuesday 8th June 2010
It’s been a mighty long time since Wire last played a UK date, extensively toured, or played in London, as demonstrated by a muffled Irish(?) voice blurting out, “Stop playing concerts in Europe”, before bassist Graham Lewis politely replied, “What the fuck did you say?”, humorously imitating his…

The Damned
The Damned
Shepherds Bush Academy
London, UK
Friday 4th June 2010
Shepherd’s Bush Academy’s website might call The Damned “punk heroes”, but there is little question over how omissible that is. For a band that started a tail-gating competition with The Sex Pistols over who could release the first official punk single back in the heyday of ‘76,…

Zounds: New Opportunities
Derived from the basement dwellings of the cassette culture that gave birth to Fuck Off! Records, Zounds were the epitome of the ‘caught in a trap’ hippy movement, which saw itself confronted with the realities of an up-and-coming punk class.

Stiff Little Fingers:Breakout 2010 Tour
HMV Forum
London, UK
5th March 2010
Having missed out London on their 2009 fall tour, the Irish pub rock legends were back in the capital, still albumless but able to entertain the crowd with a bulk of pre-washed material. Jake Burns heads up a somewhat quiescent band, inhibitively exhibiting himself on one of two guitar alter…
