Biografia:
The Straps were originally based in Battersea, South London, Jock shared a squat with Andi Sex Gang who played Bass for us in 78. The punks were always in battles with the local biker gang (Road Rats) who used to break in the squats & bash up the punks. Jock & Andi then relocated to Brixton (more squatting) that`s when Stan Stammers (T O H & S O Destiny) & Luke Rendle (Crisis & T O Hate) joined us in 79
Charlie Harper used to have a hairdressers in Tooting Broadway & used to cut my hair.
