Full story here :

Would be interested to hear your comments.

Its a former member of both Clash and Generation X, namely Mick Jones and Tony James (who went from Gen X to Sigue Sigue Sputnik) who have had this band now for 2 years
Live, they are blinding, and to their credit play NO Clash, B.A.D, Gen X or anyother tunes from their past catalogue
They have encouraged fans to download both songs and footage of concerts for sometime, and one cunt tried to sell them on ebay, but was warned off
Its VERY refreshing to know that this band does this, they make no money at all, but are well minted from previous outlets.
I have everything available, and trust me, they will be big soon. They turned down support with U2, Coldplay and Oasis this summer. They have no record deal as they don't want to become 'enslaved' by a company
The ONLY thing they ask, is that if you DO copy something, do a copy for someone else at no cost who might not have facilities to download or burn and they benefit
If anyone wants any of their demos/live concerts, let me know. They are touring in September, I suggest you check them out at the small venues they are playing while you have the chance

At around a tenner for a ticket, you wouldn't be disappointed, but don't expect them to cover any back catalogue from their previous groups
