999-Separates (1978)

999 were another one of those bands that got swept in with the punk scene and they were more than happy to do that but their music, although it brushed with Punk leant towards Rock. You could quite feasibly call them one of the first Pop-Punk bands. Whilst they have never blown me away I still enjoy listening to them from time to time even fifteen years after I first heard them. Not quite as energetic as bands like the Buzzcocks but they definitely shared that pop hook mentality. A late 70's gem. Pity about the awful clothes
