Fresh new London garage rockers The Rocks number five, and dare to mention Sinatra, The Misfits and 'Miss You' by Rolling Stones as an influence. It is sleazy, glamourous post-punk rock, a sort of Vibrators meets Magazine. Their debut single "Sicko" is a fast and spikey garage romp - virtually a new version of the much forgotten THE ADVERTS. James Rocks fronts the show in jaw-dropping and hilarious stylee.
