The Straps

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Original punk outfit the Straps are one of my favourate bands from the punk genre. They were undoubtedly one of the most influential bands from the london punk rock scene.They were one of these bands who never quite achieved their potential. They had many famous members (Listed Left) including jim Walker (PIL drummer) they have also recorded with Rat Scabies and Jah Wobble . They split in 83 , reformed briefly reformed 92 to play a one off punk fest at the Brixton accadamy with sham 69 and many others. The two surviving members Dave Reeves and Jock Strap have now retuned 2005 and looking like the band they should be are now recording some new great tracks and playing all the major Punk Festivals including REBELLION and Punk Aid .
