Excerpts
“Thumbs are one of the most interesting bands around. They continue to write good, solid songs that have influences from Dylan to Elvis C. to Smokey Robinson to Patti Smith, with a touch of a garage band in their heart."
-DP, page 19
“…on London Calling, The Clash (still full of angry spirit) broaden their scope and in many ways pay homage to their R & B and reggae influences."
Page 3
“Public Image are not for everybody. They are hardly traditional. The facts are that they exist, they market their products and they influence. Whether the consumers like or dislike their sounds does not seem to have much of a motivational force on them.”
