From An English Village: James
Barney Hoskyns, Spin, October 1985
"WHEN PUNK HAPPENED," says Tim Booth, "there was a big explosion of energy, but eventually the energy was dissipated, and in the last few years theres been very little good stuff on independents. The independents have just been a nursery for young bands before they sign to majors, and they havent been able to break out of that, because they have this very British fear of money and of business. Its a funny attitude that you cant help admiring in some respects, but its quaint and dishonest."
