THIS IS THE ORIGINAL LURKERS PETE STRIDE - NIGEL HOLMES - ESSO Brand new studio album from original punk legends The Lurkers! There's still a big audience for punk rock, why do you think the music has stood the test of time? Pete: At the most basic level I think it comes down to the energy, brevity and sheer catchiness of the best punk tunes. Nigel: Because it lacks pretention and as it did back in '77 and anyone can have a go. Also......It's Good. Esso: It had a definite identity maybe - it was a movement that attracted people who didn't feel part of the mainstream, and so once finding a home didn't want to leave it, in fact remaining loyal to that thing that they felt saved them. When you formed the band back in the '70s did you expect you'd still be making records 40-odd years later? Pete: no not at all, I think i imagined i would be retired and living in a mansion by the age of 30. Nigel: No, I thought I'd be living on my country estate deciding whether to drive the Aston or the Bentley and throwing rocks at the neighbours. Esso: Not at all, twenty years old - 40 years was a different world. It's been 4 years since the last Lurkers GLM album, why the long gap? Pete: our recording process can be very slow, we bring each song to completion before moving on to the next, which means that if a song doesn't work out then that's probably at least a month of time wasted. but also "real life and health problems etc can cause long holdups.. Nigel: You can't rush genius (sic) Esso: But that's not long in Lurkerworld - can take months to decide what pub to go in.
