Magazine- Howard Devoto interview, Generation X article

[Jason Gross]

Greetings,

In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://
www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):


GENERATION X
Was Billy Idol ever really a punk?- by Jason Gusmann
"Stylistic complexity wasn’t a problem for the English punk band
Generation X – however, they had a pretty serious ideology problem, at
least by punk rock standards. To just listen to them as we did, in
the light of 1985, we didn’t hear any issues – just a great poppy punk
band. Coming of age a few years after the first wave of punk, we
weren’t really caught up in any ideological arguments about the old
vs. the new – it was all rock n roll to us anyway..."

MAGAZINE
Howard Devoto interviewed- by Robert Pally
"After 30 years, the influential English Post-Punk-Band Magazine
(which first existed from 1977-1981) returns with a new, fifth album
called 'No thyself'. In the interview, singer Howard Devoto gives
sharp answers to questions about monsters, being influential, success
and talking to yourself."
