One of the greatest ever bands. Their final Peel session might be the best session ever … well, it is to me! Playing #PrestonPopFest in a couple of weeks time too 👍

I also still have a Tom Verlaine XXL T, (marked L 🙄) and thankfully have never grown into it 😂

Saw them loads around the early stuff of the Tom Verlaine 12” and Tell ‘em we’re surfin EP. They absolutely ripped the arse out of live performances, with 3 guitarists. Never quite translated onto record, but truly beautiful songs…
