They are not a punk band but a 1990s indie band who have been transported back in time to 1977. Their sound is so early 1990s indie it is unbelievable.
@dronecult you're right - doesn't look like Ed at all. Pretty sure he played on the original version. A favourite band; saw them a lot late 70s - early 80s
Wow! I never knew others liked the drummer so much. Yes Mr Kenley I can verify there is a full length version, but I think its locked away in a video vault somewhere because I just can't find it. I do believe he would often adjust his kit. I believe his shorts were pink. Has anyone else seen this?
please would they post it. I've heard at one point between songs the drummer quickly stands up to adjust his kit and gives us a great view of him wearing only a pair very skimpy shorts. Can someone verify this ?
i think these guys are better then "punk" they're from before punk, they're more on the scale of the stooges, more like really loud rock'n'roll. they don't dress up and play shitty enough for be called punk- not that punk is a good or bad thing, just they're better.
? - all the original members on this clip except Algy on bass who replaced Kym Bradshaw (who went of to join the lurkers - go figure!) - and he was with them from the second LP - the classic line up i'd say
Sham - where did this come from and have you got anymore?!!!!
read your first posting loads scratching my ead then i saw your second! Never knew Bradshaw joined the lurkers. Algy of course joined the seminal Machine Gun Etiquette period Damned !
Just lovely and live.
I wish bands nowadays would have at least half the credibility The Saints have.

A lot of early punk was more cranked up rock n roll Stoogesy / r n b ..but listen to this sonic intensity of I'm Stranded. Its full on extreme.
