CHARGE were an excellent and imaginative Punk band, that some would also see as Post-punk, due to no straitjacket sound, best known for their “Perfection” album, but they had a string of bouncy singles.

These pics aren’t great, but they are cute, and an example of carefree early 80’s life where you pissed abut on hazy, Summer days. They were a lovely bunch and I kept in contact with Stu (R.I.P.) through the years, right up to the end when he passed in San Fransisco.
