2007. 30 years ago
the sex pistols took the world by storm putting the world of punk rock
on the front pages of the international press. 30 years of mohawks, of
safety pins, of bondage pants. 30 years ago sham 69 released their debut
ep 'i don't wanna'. 30 years of work shirts, of cropped hair, of dr.marten
boots. taking the elitist, middle class punk sound and style, and taking
it to the streets and to the roots level. 2007. the new sham 69 album,
'western culture' is released. With a line-up change bound to surprise
many, they are sounding fresher than they have done for a long, long time.
their first real record for over ten years, proving that the band is back
to stay!
