It seems to have been a bit of a late-70s fest this week, which has not been a conscious decision.
Of the bands still probably classified truly as “punk”, The Ruts are one of the few that really stand the test of time. This whole album is tremendous, with not a poor track on it. I’m going to pick “Jah War” as my favourite, though, on this particular day at least.
A tragedy that this band’s existence was cut so tragically short in 1980.
