NOTES:
Punk's reigning contrarians, the Mekons, were formed in Leeds, England, in 1977 by art students Jon Langford and Tom Greenhalgh. Their first single, "Never Been in a Riot," took dead aim at one of punk's sacred cows, the Clash's "White Riot," and the Mekons have gladly been outsiders ever since. The group has survived countless personnel changes, miserable fortune with record companies and a constant state of near-poverty by adapting to the times, its music expanding beyond punk to embrace twisted versions of country, reggae and electronica. And singer/guitarist Langford has become a pivotal figure in the underground rock and art scenes, as a producer, songwriter, bandleader, sideman, cartoonist, painter, writer, critic and all-around instigator. (He was also one of the first to make multiple band membership a habit, starting with the Three Johns.) All the while, the Mekons have continued to put out records of bewildering variety, erratic musical quality and enormous heart. These function almost without exception as critiques of power and the abuse of power — whether in government, the record industry or, less frequently, the bedroom.
