JOCK STRAP SAYS
The STRAPS are back - and sounding better than ever - with three new members: Mark Hobbs (bass), Stuart Philips (lead gtr) and Lloyd Dudley (drums) - joining the two original members: Jock Strap (vocals/gtr) and Dave Reeves (rhythm gtr).
I first met Dave in a squat in Battersea in early ?78. Dave was dressed in his school uniform - as he was only 16 at the time. I had just moved down from Glasgow because the Punk scene up there had ran its course for me, personally speaking. The boozers wouldn?t even let punks in - going to watch a good Punk band was becoming very hard - except for the Glasgow Apollo - where the bigger bands like The Clash played. I had been fortunate enough to have seen Buzzcocks, The Jam, Sham and all the Roxy bands on tour - however London was the only place to be back then.
There were 2 x amps, a mic and stand and an old battered kit set up in this tatty old bedroom. Dave had just sacked the singer and asked me if I could sing. I just laughed and said, ?OK

WELCOME
www.thestraps.co.uk I still find it hard to believe that people are still interested in The Straps. After all, we were gone for 12 years! I have done other things in between ? I?ve worked with Jah Wobble and Rat Scabies ? and have written enough material for about two new Straps albums - but its difficult getting us all in the same place at the same time as we all have other commitments. I?m a very political person and my punk attitude is still very strong. I hate governments - they are all corrupt cunts who look after themselves and care very little about the people who put them there. I have recorded a song called ?Iraq? which you can download free at - HYPERLINK "http://www.isound. com" http://www.isound.co m - and look for The STRAPS GB.
You can also get our new CD ? ?The Straps: The PUNK Collection? (Captain Oi) ? here:
