Re: Old Punks Never Die!

'The Alarm' were original 'The Toilets' - a punk band who supported a number of other big punk acts like The Buzzcoks and The Clash.

'The Toilets' morphed into a band called 'Seventeen' (after the Pistols song), then 'The Alarm'.

Mike Peters (only member still in it) has played on stage in the past few years with members of The Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Buzzcocks.

So he was certainly originally a punk, though he moved on with his musical styles.
