JUSTIN CHUBB

In The 80s, Guernsey, where I grew up, had a very strong music scene. I was in a band with my brother, my Jinsy partner Chris [Bran] was in a rival band with his brother. Number 19 was where everyone got their vinyl and my dad had a shop called Fuzzey’s which sold televisions, but it also had a record department. My mum came to work in the singles department and met my dad there. By the time I’d grown up it was no longer a record shop, but he’d employed identical twin girls, one of which, Betty, started her own vinyl shop and that’s where I went with my pocket money.

I listened to lots of music because of?’ I’d be about 13. I found it scary, but really interesting because of that – and it’s such a boys’ album. I’ve always loved stories and this was quite deep with amazing animation. When I saw the actual record where the art and everything had so carefully cohered, it just seemed like, ‘Oh wow, that’s what music can do.’ What’s also great is that is so hard on himself. It has misogyny, racism and homophobia, but he’s not condoning it, it’s a journey into the dark side of the soul.
