Most of the bands who I would think of as Punk were just, or seemed to be, angry with no direction to it; except possibly Poly Styrene.
The Au Pairs were very different; right from the start they had a very direct political point of view. I can imagine the kind of kicking they would like to give John Lydon about now. They just never seemed to have much of a connection to the punk movement, such as I was aware of it anyway.
We would never have agreed politicially on a good many things, but I had a lot of time for them.
