THE NEW, RISING SOUND OF THE STREETS GETS FRONT PAGE COVERAGE IN 1980.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on Jeff "Stinky" Turner of East London Oi! punk band COCKNEY REJECTS, on the cover of Reading, UK ‘zine "Grinding Halt" #5, c. 1980.

"The COCKNEY REJECTS must be one of the most earthly, solid punk bands to have arisen in the last couple of years, and one of few to present punk in the way it should be heard. Nowadays bands use all sorts of gadgets which detract from the spontaneity asnd simplicity of the music. THE REJECTS, however resist this and are writing and playing songs in the way groups did some three years ago. This is what they had to say after their set supporting SLAUGHTER."

-- GRINDING HALT punk fanzine #5, Raeding, UK, c. 1980

GRINDING ZINE: "Is the new single (Greatest Cockney Rip Off) a reference to Jimmy Pursey?"

Micky Geggus: No, well it's a bit of a piss take really, like he goes round calling himself the great cockney cowboy and all that but he never goes near the  place,y' know what I mean?

GRINDING HALT: "Did you have an argument with him?"

MG: "Yeah, a bit — let's drop it though 'cos he isn't really worth it. l've had enough of him."

GRINDING HALT: "How did you feel about the press the album got?"

MG: "Well, I was happy with the album and that's all that really matters to me. I reckon it's a good album, and that's good enough for me, the press ain't all that important —  Gary Bushell gave it a good write up though."

GRINDING HALT: "How did the Gary Bushell link come about?"

MG : "Well, basically I sent him a tape and he liked it and it all went from there. But he had to choose between writing and managing and he chose writing 'cos you can't do both properly at the same time."

WERE WRITING SONGS ABOUT "HEADBANGERS" BEFORE THRASH WAS A PIMPLE ON THE ASS OF HEAVY METAL.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Micky Geggus, then teenage guitar hero and co-founder of the East London Oi! punk rock band COCKNEY REJECTS, c. 1980, from the pages of "Grinding Halt" fanzine #5, Reading, UK.

READY TO ROCK: "Give us a brief history of the band."

MICKY GEGGUS: "We formed after the original punk explosion in 1979, and got a deal relatively quickly with a small indie label who released our debut "Flares n Slippers" EP, which stayed in the indie charts for months, and got us headhunted by majors such as Warner Bros and EMI.

Being QUEEN fans, of course we fancied seeing our debut album on the same hallowed label, so we plumped for a 5 album deal with them. Life in the East End of London was never quite the same after that..."

This lil 4 year old from overseas said this in the most sincere way with the most adorable little accent...He really mulled over what the difference between his hands and mine could be. I think about it all the time.

omelas but the machine that transmutes the child's suffering into everyone else's utopia is fake actually. there is no relationship between the child in the torture room and the smooth functioning of omelan society, but everyone believes there is because politicians and economists have always said so. everyone congratulates themselves for being serious utilitarian adults who have to make compromises and trade offs. of course omelas is the greatest place to live, look what we've done to achieve it. do you think we'd torture a child if we didn't have to? we make hard choices here. that's how we know they're the right choices, because they're hard. nobody would believe in a utopia without a downside. oh, you have some ideas about the governance of omelas? are you prepared to stain your hands by helping us put the child in the room? no? why should we take you seriously, then? you're obviously a naive idealist who isn't prepared to make hard choices.

anyway here in Australia we are still having an agonisingly protracted argument about whether ten years old is the appropriate age of criminal responsibility above which kids can be put in jail so this is not actually a hypothetical
