Sid Truelove

I am currently guitarist, drummer and founder member in 1979 of the Anarcho-punk/Deathrock band Rubella Ballet.

I was the drummer for the Epileptics who became Flux of Pink Indians. Providing the tribal drums for Tube Disaster & donating the music for Sick Butchers & Background to Malfunction, the b-side of Neu Smell released on CRASS records originally written by me for Rubella Ballet.

I was personally asked by my friend Poly Styrene to reform the legendary X-Ray Spex in 2008 for her last gig at The Roundhouse in London.

I am the editor for Zillah Minx's film She's a Punk Rocker UK and forthcoming feature film and series She Rocks Punk.

    Crass were a pivotal band for me in my early teens. Just the mindset of those people was inspiring and the anarcho-punk ethic is still with me today some 50+ years later. Thanks for giving this insight.

    one of my small time heroes. i've supported him in 2016 and still see him occasionally at rebellion. his partner Jona always remembers me and has a good natter with me and Steve remains a gentle, humble sort who'll often say hello and take a photo. every time is a honorable experience.

    I went to see Crass in Holborn, drank too much and fell asleep on a chair and woke up after Crass had started playing to see a table flying towards me and a load of skinheads fucking the place up. Managed to find my mate and caught the last train home. Good times!
