CD Reviews

The Kids are Alright

Mr. Richard D. Coreno | Berea, Ohio USA | 04/06/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"When bassist Glen Matlock was unceremoniously fired from the Sex Pistols, he rebounded with this project, which delivered quality power pop, but had minimal chart success in the UK.

Matlock enlisted Midge Ure (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Rusty Egan (drums) and Steve New (guitar) - and, for a brief time, guitarist Mick Jones - for the 1978 album, Ghosts of Princes in Towers (#51 on the UK album chart) and a trio of singles, with Rich Kids b/w Empty Words peaking at #24 in the UK.

The compilation includes the album and additional material that essentially covers the output of the group. The lack of chart success, though, doomed the band, with Matlock calling it quits in 1979 and - with New - touring and recording with Iggy Pop.

Though the music may have gotten lost as punk rock sped into pop culture, Matlock's sound and vision showed that these kids were alright."
