I was listening to Cool for Cats by Squeeze and not really digging like half of it despite really liking some of their later albums and I had the thought "I'd probably be happier listening to The Jam" so that's how I ended up turning on In The City and having a better time.

Review: The Molotovs - Wasted On Youth

Brother and sister Mathew (vocals/guitar) and Issey Cartlidge (bass/vocals) are channelling the bands of the 70s/80s and throwing in some classic Britpop, whilst keeping the sound relevant and modern for a new audience.

The Molotovs – Wasted On Youth

The Molotovs are another band of the new generation of mod revivalists in 2026 and, along with Sharp Class, are spearheading the movement, and turning heads!

Another archive review up. Just a couple more to go before brand new content next month. #TeenageAnthems #ModRevival #AlbumReview

Uppers On The South Downs

Good and rare mod revival tracks that a collector, the curious or the nostalgic will love to own. I have to recommend, if you can find it, the 1981 re-release for the inclusion of Purple Hearts.

Teenage Anthems

Continuing to add archive posts to the substack. This is a great, must have classic mod revival album. The 2020 reissue is excellent too. #vinyl #AwayFromTheNumbers #review #ModRevival

Secret Affair - Behind Closed Doors

Behind Closed Doors was written in a bit of a rush, presumably to capitalise on the success of the first record. It meant that the two main songwriters, Ian Page and David Cairns, worked remotely and apart.

The Lambrettas - Beat Boys In The Jet Age

John Peel, on playing a Secret Affair session in 1979 (he quite liked Secret Affair) was a little sniffy over The Lambrettas' name - saying "at least they [Secret Affair] weren't called something ridiculous like The Vespas"
