The Wild Boys - Coventrys sole survivors of the Punk era, are splitting up
The Wild Boys - Coventrys sole survivors of the Punk era, are splitting up. Vocalist Johnnie Thompson is leaving to form a heavy metal band and is taking manager, Paul Vuckovic, with him. The new band which consists of three other people from local bands - has already been practising together. The break-up was on the cards anyway with Mark Byers devoting much of his time to The Tearjerkers, the band formed by his brother Roddy of The Specials. Drummer Tony Lynch and bassisst Gary Cox are still undecided about their futures but should have little problem finding positions in other local groups.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wild Boys - Coventry's sole survivors of the Punk era, are splitting up. Vocalist Johnnie Thompson is leaving to form a heavy metal band and is taking manager, Paul Vuckovic, with him. The new band, consisting of three other talented musicians from local bands, has already been practicing together and preparing for their debut. The break-up was somewhat expected as Mark Byers had been dedicating much of his time to The Tearjerkers, a band formed by his brother Roddy of The Specials. However, drummer Tony Lynch and bassist Gary Cox remain undecided about their futures but should have no trouble finding positions in other local groups due to their immense talent. This print captures the essence of an era that defined rebellion and raw energy in music – the 1980s punk scene. On stage, amidst flashing lights and roaring crowds at a concert in Coventry, these five individuals gave everything they had to create unforgettable performances night after night. Their passion for singing and performing resonates through this image; you can almost hear Johnnie Thompson's powerful vocals reverberating across the venue. It serves as a reminder that even though all good things must come to an end, the spirit of punk will forever live on. As we look back on this moment frozen in time by Mirrorpix's lens, we honor these trailblazers who paved the way for future generations of musicians.
