From deep in the woods come the mighty STAGGS.
STAGGS are Michael T Scott and Paul Ridley.
Featuring: Kitsy Chaos, Mave Mills, Flies On You, Bedroom Legends, DJ Capt. Mainwaring, Fab Broadway, Rosa Bramley and Jo Frontier.
STAGGS were born out of a one-off experimental remix of their own anarcho-punk track from the early 80s. The production is wholly contemporary but the anger of that era lives on in their energy, lyrical content and vocal expression. With a healthy cynicism towards British culture contained in the wealth of nostalgic samples and a bizarre smattering of French language thrown in for good measure, STAGGS give a sly “clin d’oeil” to 1970/80s Britain.

"This is marvellous stuff – the original tunes are pretty damn good in their own right, these re-interpretations are best described as both fun and stunning in respect of invention and delivery". Bob Osborne.
