Hello,

"Cabaret punk?? I think not. Although bands like the Buzzcocks might be
guilty of that, the Upstarts are still an active band. Since at least 1992,
Mensi has been a member of AFA and has been keeping the band going, and
still playing live music. "
So do a lot of bands. So do Black Lace. It`s still no relevance to Mod though
is it?
"what the fuck do you call Holidays In The Sun? I mean, if you
wanna talk about cabaret punk, lets not forget which country eats it up like
no one else."
Yeah, sure it does to a lesser extent. It`s still no relevance to Mod though
is it?
"I mean "The Young Ones?" Great song, really good fuzzy bass, driving drums,
great punk rock. "When Will They Learn?," "I'm An Upstart," both great tunes.
"Guns For Afghan Rebels" is yeat another great one if you aren't afraid of the
obvious left wing message"
But still no relevance to Mod.
"And of course, no one can say that "Brighton Bomb" isn't a great song"
Brighton Bomb is not a great song. Not in a million years. Why? Because it`s a
crap old punk song.
"And let's not even start on age, because someone's age is entirely
irrelevant."
Very true. But I think you`ve worked out my point. This place is called
Modslist, and while I don`t deny your passion for the band, I do deny their
place on a list devoted to the mod scene.
