Did they? I bought their first few albums and I don't hear any punk influences. Do you mean when they were the Tourists?

Ah, I never knew that. I can't imagine Annie Lennox gobbing at the audience!

You're right to question the statement, because it's wrong.

Pre-Eurythmics Annie Lennox, and Dave Stewart were in the pop band The Tourists.

Whose musical roots were in folk rock.

About as punk as Pickettywitch.

Pre-Tourists, Annie Lennox was in the group Dragon's Playground.

Who appeared on ITV's New Faces.

Very punk.

Original recording of The Catch's one and only single, in 1977.



Borderline / Black Blood (The Catch)

Much more The Spinners.

Than The Slits.

Punk my arse.
