There’s no doubting that the most lovable, eccentric, cocky, funny, schoolboy-rude and artful characters from the punk generation are The Blockheads. Together with Ian Dury they created songs that were clever, insightful, subversive and, more often than not, just plain fun.
Clever Trevor, Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Reasons To Be Cheerful Part 3, What A Waste and, the anthem for their generation, Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, all carried the same trademark mark mix of humour, indignation, wonderfully witty wordplay and extreme musicianship.
"Ian Dury owed his brilliance to no one. But he owed his stardom to The Blockheads." The Word
"Given the times, those ancient Blockheads sound more here-and-now than anyone." Uncut
"Dury would be proud." Mojo
