Must say i have a real soft spot for bankrobber, particularly the epic the meskies made out of it, but not least because of the fun the band seem to be having in that video. They still seem so together, a group, happy in their skin and making great songs. And....within a year pretty much turned to shit or at least heading that way. Ah, well...

I love Bankrobber it's a fantastic track. I've always been stunned that the record label wouldn't release it the UK and it had to chart on import initially.Low Down Low wrote: ↑08 Feb 2019, 6:27pmYeah it’s him alright....I’m 90% convinced now and that’s close to how certain i can be about anything these mental days and that includes night and day!WestwayKid wrote: ↑08 Feb 2019, 6:00pmI think you're right.

To reach no 12 in the charts with pretty much no promotional push behind it speaks volumes for its quality i think.

Re: The Clash observations thread.
It's a fantastic track. I've always loved Joe's vocal on that one. I was just looking at the Wikipedia page (for what it's worth) for the track and the musical credits are interesting. Mick's sole contribution is listed as sound effects. Joe's credited for guitars (and piano).Marky Dread wrote: ↑08 Feb 2019, 6:31pmI love Bankrobber it's a fantastic track.
