They were terrible
I foolishly allowed a friend to persuade me to go and see them when they reformed a few years ago.
To make matters worse, they were supported by Jesus Jones.
Miles Hunt is a dreary moaning old cunt, who kept banging on about wanting 'The Poppies' to reform to complete the set.

Pop Will Eat Itself.
Also shit, apart from their comical cover version of Beaver Patrol.

I had their Black Country Chainstore Massacre 12" when it came out. I think it was their first record.
It was, incredibly, shit.

The 'grebo' scene from which they came had a couple of good exponents:
The Janitors and Gaye Bykers on Acid were both excellent, and Crazyhead were a lot better than their shit name might suggest.
