Publicly known: English punk band from Manchester, formed in 1995 by John Robb. On DeBaser: one review (by vv) of Do You Believe In The Power Of Rock n Roll? with a negative verdict.

A single DeBaser review takes aim at Goldblade’s Do You Believe In The Power Of Rock n Roll?, calling it derivative and slogan-heavy. The sound is compared to stadium-chant punk with nods to AC/DC and Deep Purple, and accused of mimicking Sandinista-era experiments. The writing mocks the band’s ‘punk’ aesthetics and repetitive lyrics. Only praise: the album’s speed and 32-minute length.
