  Are featured in todays New Musical Express, which is well timed as the band begin their next UK tour tomorrow called imaginatively 'Tour Number 2!'
Other punks getting some press are the Sex Pistols (as always) who's recent trial gets em a 4-page special. The Clash and the Prefects manage to get profiles along with album reviews of Skrewdriver and The
 Drones. The UK singles charts features the Boomtown Rats, Elvis Costello, Tom Robinson Band and a new entry for the Tubes and their 'White Punks On Dope' 45. Meanwhile The Pistols are still at Number 3 in the UK album charts along with the long running Stranglers making their presence felt.   Pier Pavillion, Hastings
 London seem to have recovered sufficiently after their drummer was poached by the Damned last month to regroup. They are currently touring the toilets of the UK. Their record company has just released their next attempt at chart success 'Animal Games' but like their earlier stronger stuff this one seems doomed to fail once more...
 LONDON: "Animal Games" (MCA).
Talking of the Damned . . . London's drummer Jon Moss is temporarily sitting in for the departed Rat. The last time I reviewed a London single they sent me a dainty plastic mammary with an endearing inscription. I didn't like the record much, you see. I don't like this one much either, despite the faintest attempt at a new direction. They played it on So It Goes last week, and many would have been watching because of the S. Pistols.
