Long ago when punk was still wet behind the ears, arguments raged over the genre's antecedents, a rather moot point as in their infancy few of the first generation bands were capable of imitating whatever heroes they might actually have had. Or so their detractors insisted, but maybe they just didn't want to, or couldn't be bothered, or refused to out of spite. But if the likes of
the Sex Pistols or
the Damned had decided to prove them all wrong and launched into hard rock, one expects they'd sound an awful lot like
Skull Time. To be precise, more proficient than one would ever have given them credit for, but nowhere near as virtuoso as they'd like to believe they were.
