    Cortinas, The

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Hailing from Bristol, The Cortinas formed in 1976 and started out as one of the dozens of post-Sex Pistols dole queue bands, replete with genuine pseudo-political small-label single (Fascist Dictator).

    But on True Romance, their first album, they evolved into a thoroughly likeable, if unspectacular, primitive rock ‘n’ roll band.

    Their brand of stripped-down, amphetamine-fuelled R&B – punctuated with bolshy shouty vocals –  found favour with the early punk crowd.

    A further single followed (Heartache c/w Mr Waverly) before The Cortinas called it a day.
