Background notes

Archive material and source history

Teen Idols were a London punk band active around the late 1970s and early 1980s. They put out records like 'Teen Idols' in 1978 and 'Big Black Dog' in 1980. Their song 'Porno Shop' got some radio stations to ban it, which was part of what made them known.

Billy Childish sang and played guitar, Johnny Volume was on bass, and Terry Edwards drummed. They had a reputation for chaotic live shows where things could get unpredictable. The band didn't last too long, but songs like 'Big Girl Now' and '1989' stuck around in certain corners of the punk scene.
