This Means War!

Name – Steven Aldridge 

Age – it begins with 5 

Place – Hinckley , Leicestershire U.K.  

Previous band – I still play for Chron Gen until our final big farewell show in August  

Favourite punk band of all time . Difficult question but  I’m going to go with Rancid for the sheer longevity and high consistent quality of their output .  

Favourite food – good healthy  home cooking  

Favourite drink – pints and then some more pints  

Favourite sport / club  - Coventry city football club .. the famous sky blues 

Do’s on tour -  give it 100% . The full bollox 

Don’t do on tour . Don’t lose that Fender Bass  !!! 

Favourite records . I prefer to look forward rather than back so my current favourites are new bands . Albums speed kills and mutts nuts by Chubby and the gang and retaliation by The Chisel .  

 Last record bought . The punk masterpiece ‘comfort to me ‘ by Amyl & the Sniffers  

Favourite place to play live . Rebellion festival Blackpool  . No better feeling than playing to your friends and peers  

Favourite pub . I owned a bar/ music venue called Karns bar for 15  years . It will never be beaten  

Spinal tap experience . This will happen on my first TMW tour with GBH … guaranteed ! 

Best festival . Rebellion … by miles 

Describe yourself in one sentence . Passionate punk rock obsessive  

Why this means war ? . I was lucky enough to catch their set at  punk and disorderly Berlin . They blew me away and I thought they were a band of huge global  potential , so when I got the phone call to join .. there was only one answer ! 

Cock sparrer vs sex pistols . RAMONES MAN !… seriously pistols although I am more likely to listen to a Sparrer record  

Free beer for punks why ? … no , let them have Buckfast ‘ brewed by monks , drank by punks ‘ 

Favourite pinup star .  Star ? Bob Odenkrirk ( better call Saul ) he is not my pinup though . Amy Taylor can have that dubious honour .  

Famous last words – “ what happens if I press this button ? “
