Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cheap Rum formed in London in 1976 with Billy Chainsaw on vocals, Joey Razor on guitar, Johnny Bullet on bass, and Phil Mayhem on drums. Their debut album 'Concrete Wall' came out in 1978, and the title track became one of their most recognizable songs. The band's early sound drew from the raw energy of punk acts like the Ramones and Sex Pistols.
Over time, Cheap Rum's lineup shifted. Chainsaw and Razor left in the early 1980s, replaced by Dave Dagger and Steve Slash. Later additions included keyboardist Tony Skeleton and violinist Emily Venom. They put out albums like 'Death Grip' in 1980, 'Bloodbath' in 1982, and 'Resurrection' in 1998, with their music sometimes incorporating metal and glam rock elements.
Songs like 'Free Imagination' and 'Warrior' show the band's range within their punk foundation. The 1978 track 'Concrete Wall' remains a punk staple, capturing the band's early rebellious spirit.
