The Boys interview (Stephen)

We had a chance to speak with Matt Dangerfield a few weeks back. Matt is the singer from the Boys. The Boys were around in 1977 and were the first punk band with an album deal with a major label. The Boys also did that x-mas band the Yobs which was Boys spelled backwards. We talk to Matt about all these things and their upcoming show at the Horseshoe on the 13th of March. But we start with the band’s first single - I Don’t Care.

THE BOYS - I Don’t Care (NEMS)
