Punk rockers being championed by John Peel sparked incredible journey

The Stiffs recall how their single Inside Out being promoted on Radio One led to record deal

- by Post Reporter

John Peel once declared that The Stiffs mighty anthem Inside Out was the greatest record in the history of the universe.

Blackburn's veteran punk band enjoyed their five minutes of fame when the late DJ made their glorious pop punk tune on their own Dork Records his single of the week on Peel's much-loved late-night radio programme.

Now, The Stiffs are ready to plug in their amps again at this summer’s Rebellion punk festival in Blackpool with the UK Subs, Public Image, Conflict and many more.
