THE RINGS + TWINK (1977)










Following an injury sustained in a car crash, Twink worked as a vocalist with The Rings in early 1977, releasing one of the first Punk Rock singles "I Wanna Be Free". Other members included Alan Lee Shaw and Rod Latter. Twink coined the term Acid Punk to describe his music and went on to release an EP "Do It '77" in 1978 that included a song "Psychedelic Punkeroo" about Syd Barrett.

The original "Do It" was by Twink's old band The Pink Fairies.
