On this day in 1985 Strawberry Switchblade were cover stars of Melody Maker. After being on the front of Smash Hits a month earlier, this was only the second time they graced a cover, & their first in the 'serious' UK weekly music press.

The interview's an great overview of the band, covering personal history, punk influences, the band's progress and hatred of the Tories.
