One person could just not take the Sax attack.

[falkenhayn98]

1977 and we are going mad!

this will be my new bumper sticker,

just to see how long it takes the cops to pulll me over.

and when they see me wearing x-ray spex, they'll probably arrest me.

[vegbloke]

@falkenhayn98 there's no cops anymore, not in England anyway, you probably live in america.

[GamingMULE]

Only punk band I have ever heard with a saxophone, its acutely really good.

[EnragedClementine]

@GamingMULE

there are tons of punk bands with sax and other instruments.

[MechoMadness]

@EnragedClementine

Even at the zenith of punk rock -- especially in the UK -- there were NOT "tons of punk bands with sax".

PRE-punk, there was Bowie, Zappa & The Stooges who used sax & whom all influenced punk. The only other sax I can think of around the time are avant-garde or "no wave" performers like John Zorn, James Chance and the Contortions. POST-punk there was also the excellent 'The Pop Group'.

But you seem to be talking in the present tense, remember, 'punk' DIED in 1978...

[TheManolakis]

HARE KRSNA  Poly

[luckystriker888]

See you around some time, big little girl.Thank you honestly

[LadyScumBag10]

RIP Poly

You were a cliche and a poseur with a mind like a plastic bag, met a germ-free adolescent, saw the world turn day-glo and told little girls to tell bondage "Up Yours"!

There was no one quite like you in the music industry and surely there is no angel quite like you

[TheBellybiter]

R.I.P POLY your music will live on

[davejrise1]

R.I.P poly. you were a true entertainer & will be sadly missed.

[mazzer911]

Poly R.I.P. You will never be forgotten 

[SneakyShark]

[spaceduckkush]

@FascistFashion Im right here baby hahahahahha

[ragtimegals]

@FascistFashion Right here :) Well I'm not as awesome as Poly but yeah.

And the guitar on this song is bloody freaking amazing.

[raymondlang]

Shame they didn't perform this song on their new live DVD at the Roundhouse.

Probably one of the best punk bands of the 70s along with 999 and Rezillos.

[gkoz791]

I love this one!! I think Poly quit singing after their album, not sure...

[harry182]

@gkoz791 They played live in london in 2008, and the live album for that got released this year!

[gkoz791]
