Cockney Rejects and the Rise of New Punk

Garry Bushell, Dave McCullough, Sounds, 4 August 1979

'I WANNA go back to where it all began/I wanna do a gig in my back garden/I wanna have a laugh before the press get in/Cos if you give 'em half a chance they'll destroy the fuckin' thing/JOIN THE REJECTS — GET YOURSELF KILLED'
('Join The Rejects')
