Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Throwaways came out of London in the late 1970s, a punk band led by vocalist Johnny "Stray" Cat. Their debut album 'Outcasts' arrived in 1980 and included the single 'You're Not The Only One,' which became a raw, direct anthem for listeners who felt on the outside.
They followed with albums like 'The Lost Boys' in 1982 and 'City of Broken Hearts' in 1984. The music kept its intensity but showed some development in the writing, touching on themes of love and loss without losing that initial confrontational edge.
Their live shows were known for being aggressive, which led to some trouble with venues and authorities.
