Rock Clip of the Week - Stiff Little Fingers, Gotta Getaway (live)

I've been on a '76-'79 UK punk listening spree lately - Pistols, Adverts, Clash, Buzzcocks and more, a result of digging out my Q 'True Story of Punk' mag from a few years back.

Anyway, it seems to me that Stiff Little Fingers has always gotten forgotten in the punk books. Sure, they were Irish and Inflammable Material didn't even come out until 1979. But its sound, passion and balls had everything about the Class of '77 on it. If this came out in early 1977, SLF would've been considered among the greats.

I chose SLF's single 'Gotta Getaway' the opening track on the band's 2nd album 'Nobody's Heroes' for this week's Rock Clip of the Week. I love its energy - the band seems explosive on this clip (date unknown? 1980?).
