Apparently, UB40 should be gassed. Most people can only name one band which is named after a rule or law which is worth listening to. Generally, it’s not UB40, which may or may not be named after an unemployment benefit form in the UK. (If it is, they should start claiming the royalties from the sad tossers who buy their dubious covers, and stop taxing the UK’s hard grafters)
Front 242 might be named after something to do with a UN declaration that invading people is bad. I heard some wrinkly old geezer talking about peas and 242 and resolution 1441 blah blah blah. So maybe there is a band named after a form / rule / paragraph in the karma sutra that is worth listening to. But it ain’t You Be Farting Forty.
That chin-out, eyes-closed-in-crooning-reverie tosser that fronts said band should be first against the wall come the day of the glorious revolution. “Red, red whine” my arse. The only useful thing about said band is to point out feckless Reggae phonies, who will whiffle away to the boings of a crap cover band and declare that UB40 are “cool as a cucumber and sound as a quid innit?”. Even I know that UB40 are the ultimate cover band phonies themselves. Shooting is too good for them.
