OMG do you know them? The caretaker in my dad's office used to be in them and he is always telling me about how great they were and I didn't actually take him seriously at all.

Is it true that one of their members got crushed by a horse???

The first and best UK punk band was actually the Hammersmith Gorillas.

Correction - it was the BROTHER of the caretaker in my dad's office, otherwise known as JESSE HECTOR of the HAMMERSMITH GORILLAS!

Their compilation Gorilla Got Me is great: excellent singles, punchy rock n roll and fierce guitar work from Jesse Hector (he had giant sideburns that made him look like a member of Muppets' Electric Mayhem). The compilation contains also some live tracks from that infamous French punk festival: hi-fidelity they are not, but if you need white-hot renditions of Creedence, Hendrix and Presley songs go for it.
