Johnny Moped's been described as the link between pub rock and "the beery end of punk". Not a huge musical chasm, then. Johnny himself (the band name was also Johnny Moped, in a confusing Alice Cooper-type situation) had an unfortunate image as someone who, when presented with a microphone, would be as likely to deliver a large burp as the first line of a song. I remain a fan, not least because of such work as 'Incendiary Device' and 'Darling Let's Have Another Baby'. This week, we present the thought provoking political treatise on early ThatcherismÌýentitled 'Wee Wee'.Ìý Much more sonically sophisticated are the Shock Headed Peters, whose I Bloodbrother BeÌýuses some cutting edge 1984 studio technology. Boy meets boy and all that.ÌýÌý
