Matt Dangerfield & Casino Steel joined Steve Green for his
Blank Generation
show on Phoenix FM for an in-depth talk on all things Boys on Saturday 11 July 2020.
The programme, entitled The Boys NEMS Years,
covered the period from the birth of The Boys until the end of their departure from NEMS in 1978. A further programme, entitled The Boys Safari Years, covering the years 1979-81, will be broadcast later in the year.
Steve Green says, "I was thrilled to get the opportunity to add Matt Dangerfield and Casino Steel from The Boys to my portfolio of guests and speak to them live from Berlin and Oslo respectively. I was able via video to spend an afternoon with the Lennon and McCartney of punk rock, who together wrote the bulk of The Boys back catalogue. Cas and Matt were an absolute pleasure to interview and once again I was in awe hearing those punk rock pre ground zero stories in a must-listen-to account of how it all began from two major players in the movement. I wonder if The Boys could have been massive with just a little bit of luck or even just a little bit less bad luck. The 38 tracks played are a rundown in chronological order of their NEMS Records years which consisted of two classic albums, three incredible singles and a couple of alter ego offerings at Christmas under the name of The Yobs."
