Trolleys Thank/Wonk Unit saved my life features 2 line ups
Trolleys has Alex Johnson on vocals/ bass and Tom Williams on guitar (both from The Flying Medallions) and Snuff/Billy No Mates legend Duncan Redmonds on drums and backing vocals.
Wonk Unit saved my life has Alex Johnson on guitar/bass and Adam Stone (from Mike Davies' favourites The Apostates) on drums.
Alex Johnson is a published poet and the author of notorious sex manual "How to make girls cum","Memoirs of a loser" and blog,"Cement you Cunt" which is an amalgamation of all that makes Alex tick.
He is a regular on the spoken word circuit.
Alex Johnson is also the UK frontman for Duncan Redmonds' folk Morris dancing punk rock covers troupe The 5 Shitty Fingers.
Wonk Unit are responsible for the extremely popular "Dinosaurs are Wankers" and "Punks are Hard" T shirts.
It is highly likely that you will see on of these T's at punks shows across the country.
