Ruts DC brought their new Counterculture? album to Liverpool; Phil was there to witness one of the most powerful bands currently touring; forging ahead with new material, yet still able to invigorate the classic tracks.
Not so Ruts DC who, as one punter said, sound as fresh now as they did in their heyday as one of the best punk/reggae bands of that period regularly giving The Clash a run for their money.
After feeding the Beefeaters and faking plague at the London Dungeon you can go see a real-life original punk band play the 100 Club – maybe even slip an old Sid-alike £20 to give you an authentic bike-chaining.
