Well what can i say, Im an old punk rocker who is still very passionate about the movement ,and what it means , unfortunatly there is a conflict of oppinion on this subject, some people tend to think it was and still is a fashion thingy, well let me just say i agree to a point that fashion was involved ,however atitude was more important to me , and of course the music editor™ , i mean you can now see kids as young as 8 years old the punk fashion ,but ask them who Sid Vicious was and i rest my case, you now see people who r heavily into trance and club music wearing punk clothes , but for me and most old school punks i associated with ,politics and the music came first, and yes we did happen to look cool which was a bonus.I remember meeting Sid Vicious in Boy the punk shop that I worked in on the kings rd not long before he died when he cut off a 2" toe nail so that his new boots would fit on his feet, he had an attitude a true punk but unfortunatly it cost him his life. Me on the other hand ,i was lucky enough to survive the London punk scene to tell the tale , and thats what im working on now my first book .I have just recorded my first solo Cd which im trying to release , and of course playing in my band the STRAPS I am now working on various music projects, one of them being my solo thing heres the link.http://www.myspace.com/crumbscrumbscrumbspeter

@ FualiDotCom About The Straps
The STRAPS were formed in a south London squat in Battersea, in 1977,where i first met Dave Reeves our founder member in his school uniform, also present at that first meeting was the late Green the straps first bass player,whos life was cut short by an overdose of our kids worst enemy Heroin. Brad Day and Steve Macintosh completed the lineup that dark winters evening. The singer Howard was late yet again and they needed a replacement fast ,thats when the asked me to take possesion of the micraphone,i pissed myself laughing of course ,however some 28 years later im still hooked and completly dedicated as a singer song writer.the STRAPS have had their share of rearanged line upsThis profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor,, V2.5 including,Stan Stammers and luke Rendal from theatre of Hate, but by far the most successful crew were JOCK, DAVE,JIM WALKER the former PIL drummer,JOHN WERNER previously of the edge and SIMON WERNER his brother who played with DOA for a while in their native Canada. they released two singles Just Cant Take Anymore and Brixton , then followed an album before the split ,when Jock went on to record with Jah Wobble and Rat Scabies featuring as Bartok,when they recorded a 12" single called insanity. then after a brief spell acting Jock formed Freakshow with Paul Cunningham who is a well respected session guitarist now.And now after a 12 year break The STRAPS are back with a bang and sounding better than ever with 3 new boys STU PHILIPS ,MARK HOBBS and LloYD DUDLEY,and have already played 2 Wasted festivals , along with some oyher London gigs .The band are currently recording there first album in 20 years ,apart from the rereleasing of there punk collection on captain oi records. for more info about the band why not check out the web site for the latest news and band Cds and Tshirts.cheers punks .
Sadly Lloyd has now left the band to concentrate on his career in films. It apears that he has landed himself a job in the new Harry Potter movie. So good luck with that one mate.
New drummer now in place and playing on the new Straps Cd is Raffeye who will now be a perminent player in the band, welcome aboard geeza.
