that whole scene is so fucked up, as well as punk.... you had all this
going at the same time, and although we may think it was huge, it wasn't...
those bands are good, but they're basically on the higher end of the
consumer scale... you had the 4 skins, last resort, who came around before
the business, and definetely made an impact... cock sparrer is great,
they're the ac/dc of oi.... (the whole thing about cock sparrer is that they
were a broken up rock band, but the kids took an interest in them, so they
got back together)
