Skupina první anglické punkové vlny, vznikající pod vlivem newyorské new wave a londýnských Sex Pistols v Manchesteru v r. 1976.
Už po realizaci prvního EP Spiral Scratch (leden 1977) odchází H. Devoto a zakládá Magazine. Krátce na to dochází...
Talking like you're some big news
Now you've got a chance to choose
Baby there's nothing to lose
Yeah I'm up for the crack
Maybe there's something to see
Something about you and me
Who knows what it could be
But I'm up for the crack
Yeah up for the crack
So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated
So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated
Crazy I'm on the attack
I've gotta scream for a regular jack
And if you see me on your back
Yeah I'm up for the crack
So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated
So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated
Crazy I'm on the attack
I've gotta scream for a regular jack
And if you see me on your back
Yeah I'm up for the crack
Breaking into something new
You know there's one thing I can do
And if I said I'd see it through
Yeah I'm up for the crack
Up for the crack
Up for the crack
Yeah up for the crack
Yeah up for the crack
Yeah up for the crack
Up for the crack
