UK Subs: The Masters Of Pure Pogomatic Power Pound On (Part 86).
Garry Bushell, Sounds, 7 June 1980
NO DISRESPECT to Dave 'half-a-shandy' McCullough but, myself, I get no pleasure from records that sound like tin baths falling down coal chutes. Witless soul that I am, I go for active sounds, records that propel you into devil-may-care dancing, or compel you helplessly to grin, loon about and generally singalong to 'em.
