Quick Overview

The most knowledgeable in the British 77 punk scene, surely you know The Wasps, a band formed in 1976 in East London, with the original singer and songwriter Jesse Lynn-Dean. They lived through the emergence of the punk rock movement in the UK, and shared the scene with The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Damned, Buzzcocks, UK Subs, Sham 69, and many others... During the period 76-77, they frequently performed in the most paradigmatic halls of the movement in London and the rest of the United Kingdom, such as The Roxy, The Vortex, The Bridge House, The Marquee, Music Machine,..., and they performed live twice on Radio 1's John Peel show. His ephemeral record production is reduced to 2 singles in the studio and another shared live with Mean Street. Both "Teenage treats" (one of Peel's favorites) and "Rubber Cars" are considered classics of the time, the latter (its first reference) being RCA's best-selling single in the week of its release, although little company interest and internal disputes, led to the band's premature dissolution. In 2019, jumping 40 years in time, The Wasps appeared again at the "Punkirola" punk festival at the Black Velvet in Torremolinos, Malaga. The chemistry was just right and they returned to action with their original leader, Jesse Lynn-Dean, who is joined by guitarist Martin Hope (formerly of the British punk band The Accused), guitarist Perico, Quico (of Los punk from Malaga No Picky) and Roly Quesnel on drums (former leader of the British punk band based in Spain, The Reinfected). All the members of the band currently reside in Malaga and have just recorded at Hollers Analog Studio, by Máximo Ruiz Bandera, their new LP "Punk prayer", published on digital platforms on 12/9/2021, and which Family Spree now presents on vinyl format.
