A decent video clip from Punk on the Peninsula recently, with Stinky Turner introducing the new Cockney Rejects (albeit with a stand in for the permanent new fellow on drums).

Eight months back Jeff ‘Pungent’ Turner from the Rejects put out an important announcement – quashing misunderstandings about the Rejects’ farewell tour being, well, a farewell. They would do the odd festival, he explained, but no more big tours.
But now, it seems, Jeff can’t quite live with that – he wants to carry on, so the rest of the boys have said farewell to Jeff… and Jeff’s forming a new Rejects – with someone from the Business/Cock Sparrer, someone from the Toy Dolls and someone else.
Announcement in the comments.
How do we feel about this? Do any Cockney Rejects get the feeling they’ve been cheated or is Jeff riding in with the cavalry?
Rigid Digit was pining for the Rejects around here earlier. I thought I’d see what they were up to – in case it was time for a reappraisal… Well, it seems that it might be! There’s a distinct progressive rock feel to the cadenza on this recent number. I was (really) listening to live 1978 Jethro Tull earlier and this sounds uncannily close to those Martin Barre instrumentals that used to happen on those tours…
