Now arriving at Punk City, Punkville, USA! Fast drums, fast guitars, barely capable vocalists, great songs! “Automatic Lover” is my absolute choice here. I’m infatuated with the interplay of guitars and shouty chorus. But it’s not all safety pins and mohawks. John Paul Young’s string laden disco classic “Love Is In The Air” is here along with Patti Smith’s oft covered hit “Because The Night”. A lot of big names this year and hey, if you like The Rutles, Blue Oyster Cult, Jeff Wayne, Funkadelic or Ivor Biggun, that’s bully for you but they’re just not my bag.
