Reviews & Opinions

DAVID HEPWORTH, SMASH HITS, MARCH 20 - APRIL 2, 1980: It ought to be impossible to operate musical instruments for forty minutes without producing any music. Which just shows you should never underestimate The Rejects. They screech, they rant, they do their damndest to wish themselves back into the year 1977. The results could have been the work of Benny Hill: a ghastly parody of all that was crass and conservative about punk. Should be very popular with people who don't like music. (1 out of 10 - at least it's round).
