Stiff Little Fingers was formed in Northern Ireland in 1977 and for a few years played rockcovers before they discovered punk. Their first album was realeased in 1979 and this one from 2003 is their 9th. Their kind of punk is kind of melodic and not very fast but it's certainly features punkelements. It's an okey album but some songs are a little too lightweight. When they're heavy and fast they are at their best in my opinion.

Ian McCallum is from Scotland and lives in the USA. He has on one occasion played with his favourite band Lindisfarne.

Bruce Foxton played with The Jam before joining Stiff Little Fingers. He also had a solocareer in between playing with the two bands.

Steve Grantley has played with The Alarm and has written books about Slade and The Who.
