Abstract

Formed in Evesham, Worcestershire, in January 1977, Satan’s Rats released three superb but commercially unsuccessful singles in a period of a little more than eighteen months before splitting up. Guitarist Steve Eagles, drummer Olly Harrison and bassist Dave Sparrow then teamed up with Wendy Wu (Wendy Yates) to form The Photos, a new wave group that achieved a major label record deal and went on to a measure of chart success in the early 1980s. The band has recently reformed with a new guest vocalist, Puss Johnson, under the moniker Satan’s Cats. Steve Eagles and Puss Johnson discuss punk histories, locality, punk and everyday sexism with Russ Bestley.
