Not the greatest shots, clearly, which is a shame as THE MOB were one of the best punk bands of the 80’s. Among their releases you’ll find three beautiful singles in ‘Witch Hunt’, ‘No Doves Fly Here’ and ‘The Mirror Breaks’, alongside a total masterpiece in the album ‘Let The Tribe Increase’. Drummer Joseph Porta (KCB) also went on to the mightily impressive Blyth Power, with Curtis Youe and Gary Hatcher involved, and that band is still vibrantly active.

Tomorrow we’ll have THE MOLESTERS at the Moonlight club, 1979
