Dirty rock and roll doesn’t come any scuzzier than the suited and booted cockney lads The Godfathers. We first came across these noise boys in 1985 when The Sid Presley Experience railed their guitars against a bored Dudley JB’s audience confused by the smart racket and gorged on goth. Well we took notice. We even recorded it (if only we could find that cassette now). The SPE became The Godfathers and they are still going strong, they tore up the Hare and Hounds twelve months ago so expect more of the same.
