Pete Chambers in Godiva Rocks recalls.<\/b><\/p>\n

” Original punkers from the mid 70’s include Homicide – led by Bev – Coventry Queen of punk. I will never forget seeing her at Mr Georges on one Thursday punk night wearing just a string vest. If that was punk, I thought to myself, I want in! Homicide were loud, played songs like Genocide and Armageddon (featured on the Sent From Coventry compilation) and they could be found playing mostly at the Swanswell Tavern.”<\/p>\n
