- London were a four piece punk band formed in London in 1976 and were best known for their wild stage act. The line-up was Riff Regan (Vocals), Steve Voice (Bass), Jon Moss (Drums) and Dave Wight (Guitar). They were managed by Simon Napier-Bell and recorded two singles, a 4 track EP and an album for MCA Records in 1977. Most of their songs were written by Riff Regan (including the first two singles Everyone's A Winner and Summer of Love) or by Riff Regan and Steve Voice. All their records were produced by Napier-Bell at the IBC Studios in London. They toured extensively throughout 1977, first supporting The Stranglers and then as headliners in their own right. Their third release, the single Animal Games, was featured on the notorious Sex Pistols edition of the British TV show So It Goes. Their final gig was at the Marquee Club in Wardour Street on the 8th December 1977. The band broke up shortly afterwards. On leaving, Moss joined The Damned and then formed Culture Club with Boy George. Riff Regan released solo records before reverting to his real name of Miles Tredinnick and becoming a comedy writer; since 2005 he has also been the lead singer with the band Magic Bus. Steve Voice formed a new band 'The Original Vampires' and Dave Wight following stints in 'Metro' and Holly and the Italians reverted to his real name of Colin Wight and became an academic; recently appointed Professor of International Politics at the University of Exeter. MCA Records released the band's one and only album in February 1978 called Animal Games. London The Punk Rock Collection, a CD containing all their recorded work, was released on the Captain Oi! label in 1997. The band played their first London gig in over 30 years at the 12 Bar Club in London on Saturday 23 February 2008. The new line-up is Riff Regan (vocals), Steve Voice (bass), Hugh O'Donnell (guitar) and Colin Watterston (drums).

Il gruppo era composta da Riff Regan (Voce), Steve Voice (Basso), Jon Moss (Batteria) e Dave Wight (Chitarra). Il loro manager era Simon Napier-Bell. La band registrò due singoli, un EP di 4 brani e un album per la MCA Records. La maggior parte delle loro canzoni erano scritte da Riff Regan (inclusi i primi due singoli "Everyone's A Winner" e "Summer of Love") o da Riff Regan e Steve Voice. Tutte le loro registrazioni furono prodotte da Napier-Bell all' IBC Studios a Londra. La band fece un lungo tour nel 1977, prima come spalla dei The Stranglers e poi da soli. La loro terza pubblicazione, il singolo "Animal Games", fu inclusa nella nota versione dei Sex Pistols dello show inglese "So It Goes". L'ultimo concerto fu al Marquee Club in Wardour Street l'8 Dicembre 1977. La band si sciolse poco dopo. Dopo lo scioglimento, Moss si unì ai The Damned e poi formò i Culture Club con Boy George. Riff Regan pubblicò album da solista prima di tornare al suo vero nome, Miles Tredinnick, e diventare uno scrittore di commedie; dal 2005 è anche voce principale della band Magic Bus. Steve Voice formò una nuova band, i The Original Vampires e Dave Wight dopo essersi unito ai Metro e agli Holly and the Italians tornò al suo vero nome, Colin Wight e divenne un accademico; recentemente è diventato professore di politica internazionale all'Università di Exeter. La MCA Records pubblicò l'unico album della band nel Febbraio 1978 con il nome "Animal Games". London The Punk Rock Collection, un CD con tutti i loro brani registrati, fu pubblicato sull'etichetta Captain Oi! nel 1997.
