There's a case for
arguing that the Manchester band The Worst were THE definitive punk band.
For them skill didn't matter, instruments didn't matter and even songs
didn't matter. Playing the music industry game was not part of the plan.
Even getting paid didn't matter and admission to gigs was sometimes a
cuddly toy for charity! It was all about fun.
Completely without
pretension and often making up gigs as they played their sound was as
member Odgie describes:
Minimalist, urgent,
honest, powerful, spontaneous, occasionally inspired, often shit.
While their peers
got signed to labels and incorporated into the music machine The Worst
didn't and they left behind no
musical legacy....The
Worst are true punk legends!
