About this item

The Adventures of the Hersham Boys by punk band Sham 69 was released in 1979. It is their most successful album, peaking at No. 8 in the UK and launching two major chart singles, "Hersham Boys" and "Questions and Answers". On their first album, Sham 69 sounded like a gang of energetic punk rockers, well-meaning and enthusiastic, but things had taken a turn by the time they'd cut The Adventures of Hersham Boys in 1979. Where their early recordings took a lean, stripped-down approach, like a Cockney version of the Ramones, this album is dominated by "anthemic" melodies.
