Most punk bands was rich/middleclass kids...In fact most bands dont come from Council estates and are not working class and the reason being...Carnt afford to buy the instruments...Thats just life im afraid to say...

Didn't their lead singer trash his guitar at some radio event recently? Then announced that he's in rehab? I'm guessing they've a new album out.

At the risk of getting mangled...... I like 'em and they're a great live band. They're nothing like The Clash for two reasons.
1. They can play
2. They don't take emselves too seriously.

I think that's a yes to all three there, Jim. In fact I think they're releasing several new albums so will need all the publicity they can get. Here is a youtube clip of the incident:

They're tolerable, but the piddling tunes of these twerps are accorded endless airplay here in the US. You'd think they were the second coming of the Beatles.

The lead singer looks such a little weed though doesnt he! I reckon I'd have him no problem! And I don't mean that in a gay way!
