The Boys - Brickfield Nights

[sweetknuckle]

..saw these supporting The Ramones in Lancaster UK 1980....They were rather good !

[TheSunbau]

They are very good.

It is interesting to see how the 60s may have influenced their musical expression.

Listen for example to a band called THE ZETTLERS who recorded "Beautiful Delilah" and "Skinnie Minnie" 1965 - not a punk band - but very good at that time.

Just as "The Boys" they maybe had needed a better management.

[bassextrordinare1]

Bad Management? Band was Good,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[shaftsbury94]

great catchy chorus,

[davidicelaverdad]

[metalbabes]

[lipinski321]

What an awesome tune!  I can't believe I didn't know about them until now.

[gnomilin]

chaooooo mannnn zarpado tema!!!!

[middxdiehard]

Serious contender for best punk song ever?

[danielscissorhands]

Probably one of the most underrated punk bands EVER.

[JeepersCreepersJJP]

@danielscissorhands I still have their first 2 albums. I saw them in London Marquee Wardour St. Great time for young music.

[dortyhoor]

They changed the lyrics at the end and left out "... those Brickfield fights", a line like that in a tune now wouldnt even get noticed by TV censors, but it was the 70's and the general population was still labouring under the illusion that every punk band was creating clarion calls to the nations youth to destroy all that was held dear in life.Yet look at how clean'n'neat they were Ironically, their only real enemy was/is the ever stupid 'Punk Police', for whom the Boys werent 'proper".

[drumcollogher]

Wellers sticker on his Rickenbacker All Mod Cons !!!

[externalmenace]

Amazing song!! Never thought I'd ever see them on here doing it from that time...Pure Magic :)

[dubrifle]

One of the few punk songs that aged far better than their haircuts. Awesome still today, which you can't say about a lot of the 77 bandwagon stuff.

[amusicalguy]

A great combination of power pop and punk!

[GHgirl620]

fucking rad (:

[drstevie]

a band that deserved more. i love em. more powerpop!!!

[madskull64]

im off to see theese with cocksparrer and penetration on saturday at london forum.

[gho724]

This is a 1978 promo video. The next Boys gigs are 27th March at London Forum and 29th May at Rivolta around Venice. My all time favourite band and song.

[acika777]

Great

[felixbroadcast10]

are the boys still playing?

[tupoy75]

Волшебная мелёдия.

[MichaelKatzengreis]

Love this guys since i heard them for the first time in 1990... for me, one of the greatest bands in music history and the one and only successor of the Beatles... remember "Garden Gang" and "Jimmy Brown" etc.

[fightingboys]

one of the best punk/powerpop bands EVER!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!

[MolkoxLewd]

God so rockin. Look at that hair! xD

Anyone know what decade this was?

[andyrosario]

The 70's they didn't last very long but they were awesome. Check out the Hollywood Brats, pretty much the same guys different name.

[DogDamour]

were the same guys?

[monoregio]

late 70s

[DougyGiro]

What decade? cmon everybody knows that punk-rock exploded in 1977

[MolkoxLewd]

This could easily have been '81.

[dortyhoor]

A single released in 77/78

[srodgers66]

What an absolute Gem! Great video.

[middxdiehard]

Fucking brilliant band, especially as their alter egos, The Yobs.

[dortyhoor]

Top Christmas singles

[herminiojay]

[666IronMonkey666]

Whatever it is, shit's enjoyable!!

[panghileri]

[elcoso77]

[62salv]

[emeraldsignal]

'.............never a blade in sight'

[9april64]

[goldenhinde]

[jahatsangattu]

Classic!!

[LouieRevisited]

i like this song, but the music is way too simple.

but i guess if it sounds good its alright.

cool lyrics.

[marcRGK]

punk doesnt need to be complicated to be good.

[ecnalubma696969]

@marcRGK If that wasn't meant deadpan you are a fucking twat.

[jimmystagger]

Never got the credit they so justly deserved!
