Being on tour with a hot indie band involves waking at 4am to throw up from motion sickness only to find a toilet so brimming with piss that you’ll get splashed if there are any turns up ahead. This, like everything else on tour, is played out beneath the soundtrack of a stuttering download of Southpark season 13 and a stoned sound-engineer summarising Anvil! The Story of Anvil!
THE VIRGINS
“Hey Hey Girl”
Warner
The charming thing about the Virgins, or at least the song “Rich Girls” was they were a shitty guitar band trying to play R & B but failing in a dumb and glorious fashion. Then they re-recorded that song with some big shot producer who actually made them sound professional and ruined their schtick, which made them pretty rubbish. This is another song by them, which may have been good at some point, but now definitely isn’t. Basically if they hire me as their manager / guru I will make them shitty and glorious once more.

There’s no look more reliable than the fuck-up uncle. We liked him when we were teenagers because our parents hated him and now we are him.

Awww, how "First Day of Punk" is this girl? The Butthead button, the fresh tattoo-less arms, the fucking Batman earrings—you just want to stand her by the door with some kids from the bus stop and burn through an entire roll of film.
