Jake Burns Interview, Pt. 2 - 15:08
Overview: It's easy to see why their Rough Trade debut remains so highly rated, but for the discerning fan of second-generation punk, Nobody's Hero is every bit as special. For a start, new drummer Jim Reilly was an improvement on Brian Faloon (who gets a heartwarming tribute on "Wait and See"). Secondly, Jake Burns' songwriting collaborations with journalist Gordon Ogilvie are really beginning to pay off. The cornerstones of the LP are "Gotta Gettaway," "At the Edge," and "Tin Soldiers" -- three songs which, in different ways, brilliantly articulate the frustrated ambitions of young men in search of expression and identity, trapped in nowhere jobs/situations. Though "Suspect Device" and "Alternative Ulster" had long since ensured they would always be tagged with the label "political punk," in truth Stiff Little Fingers were always more interested in their immediate environment and finding a way out of it. A couple of plausible stabs at reggae are more than an interesting aside. [The 2001 British reissue includes four bonus tracks: "Bloody Sunday," "Straw Dogs," "You Can't Say Crap on the Radio," and the second part of an interview with Jake Burns conducted by Alan Parker on June 13, 2001.]
