  Satan's Rats were a  an epiphany to me. I somehow had missed them out yet when I heard their first three singles I just thought classic punk. They were never going to be major stars but they sum up the spirit, sound and experiences of a typical  UK punk band in 77-78. If I could think of a similar band I would say Art Attacks. 'Louise' (and yes the version recorded by Sylvan that Paul Rencher hates) would feature on any of my top twenty punk toons coz it is just sooooooo fab.

Its long but its brilliant and anyone who was ever in a band would recognise the internal wrangling and changes of  band members !!! Ironically when Paul left the Rats they  became The Photos, recruited Wendy Wu on vocals and became a chart success but who gives a shit about that. This is the real stuff.....read on...
