We were a bunch of friends/acquaintances and mainly through Eddie's instigation we decided to start a band and see how it went.*** Our influences were: Knox - Lou Reed/Velvet Underground/Iggy Pop, Eddie- Stones/Faces, John Ellis - Peter Green/Blues, Pat Collier - pop stuff.*** We sounded okay, not that brilliant. We were playing a lot of R & B covers, which I didn't like, but we had to do them so we had enough songs to do gigs straight away.

I think punk's a style of music, plus an attitude. You're not making a really well produced bit of progressive rock, it's down at the other end of music, the dirty end of it. I've heard it described as white man's blues. I think punk's still alive, though sometimes I feel like screaming when you hear yet another identikit punk rock band.

We'd started off doing pub rock stuff, just stuff we all knew, as we wanted to play straight away, and we started almost immediately putting our own songs into the set and playing faster.

I think we should have a bigger place in the punk thing. I think because most of the time in the band we didn't have a manager and a PR company we've not got the recognition we deserved. You sometimes don't get mentioned in articles where they mention really tiny bands and it's annoying.
