Take The Action, who progressed from an urban mod band into denizens of the hippy festival circuit before splitting and members going on to Ace and Chilli Willi &amp; The Red Hot Peppers, who ditched the acid for brown ale, roll-ups and down-home music. The trajectory from beat band hopefuls to Dead and CSN loving wide-eyed hippys to pub-rockers was certainly the route many took, avoiding progressive, heavy-rock and glam, although inevitably some journeymen tried their hands at everything. What was common with most of these bands was their love of denim shirts and rootsy music.<\/p>\n<p>The Band were a huge inspiration on pub-rock pioneers Brinsley Schwarz, who drastically changed their outlook and sensibility after witnessing American ex-pats Eggs Over Easy in the back room of a North London pub. In this stripped back environment, which was totally at odds with the stadium rock of the period, bands could play soul and R&amp;B, folk and country-rock, rock \u2019n\u2019 roll, whatever they wanted. Energy was high, but so was emoting soulfully without fuss.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, this collection works more around the classic Americana sound that inspired so many bands, but there are diversions into soul, rock, R&amp;B and even proto-punk. There would have been no London punk scene without the path forged by such trailblazers as The 101ers (featuring Joe Strummer), Eddie &amp; The Hot Rods, and, of course, Dr Feelgood.<\/p>\n<span class=\"synved-social-container synved-social-container-share\"><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F7490&#038;t=EXCLUSIVE%20SHINDIG%21%20QOBUZ%20PLAYLIST%20%2329%3A%20FROM%20FIELDS%20TO%20THE%20PUB&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F7490&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F02%2FCov.png&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=EXCLUSIVE%20SHINDIG%21%20QOBUZ%20PLAYLIST%20%2329%3A%20FROM%20FIELDS%20TO%20THE%20PUB\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F7490&#038;text=New%20post%20on%20our%20site\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=EXCLUSIVE%20SHINDIG%21%20QOBUZ%20PLAYLIST%20%2329%3A%20FROM%20FIELDS%20TO%20THE%20PUB&#038;body=New%20post%20on%20our%20site:%20https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F7490\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re very excited to be media partners with the truly unique online streaming platform and download store\u00a0Qobuz.
