The Automatics: Who Died and Made You Brian Jones?

The Automatics: Who Died and Made You Brian Jones?


The Automatics were formed by singer-songwriter David Philp in 1978. Once upon
a time playing clubs such as the Marquee and scoring a number one hit with When
the Tanks Roll (Over Poland Again)
in the Land of Punk, they faded into the relative
obscurity that claimed the Punk/New Wave movement.

Given a new lease on life when the twenty-first century Japanese Punk scene came
calling, The Automatics released several albums, including Britannia in 2006. Take a
focus on "the nature of being English", add Philp's attending school in Cheltenham
as a youth, and you get the offbeat...
