Special Duties

Special Duties is Street Punk band from Colchester, Essex, England, United Kingdom. In the summer of 1977 Steve Green (Aka Arrogant), Steve Norris (Aka Duty), and Nigel Baker attended a comprehensive council/army estate school called Alderman Blaxill. Aged 15 and already good friends they had began to show a more than passing interest in a new kind of music fuelled fashion called Punk Rock. Endless hot summer evenings were spent listening to Ramones, Clash, Lurkers and Sex Pistols records in each others bedrooms. Then one day at school Arrogant read in Sounds that The Adverts were taking in boring Colchester on their tour. Although they later found out that Adam and the Ants, Generation X and others had already played their hometown, to them this was to be the turning point.
