Thatcher and the Tories? A big influence on your music?
Kim:
Well there was definitely a punk hangover in the ‘80s. There was still a lot of attitude flying about that affected the way we made music. I was 20 and just out of art college with dyed, punky hair. Thatcher was definitely omnipresent in the ‘80s and created the dynamics for something to react against. I don't think that exists now.
