The Subway Sect: Bernard Rhodes Great Unknowns Payola Special
Paul Morley, NME, 4 March 1978
SUBWAY SECT have been together in some form or another since the semi-legendary 100 Club punk festival in September 1976. The line-up on that date was Paul Smith on drums, Robert Simmons on bass, Paul Myers on guitar and Vic Goddard on vocals. Involved in the proceedings were also The Clash and since then the majority of the few gigs they've done have been with The Clash, through the aegis of Bernard Rhodes.
