- D - Dead Men Walking

A supergroup /side project led by the Alarm's Mike Peters and a changing lineup including Pete Wylie (Wah), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Kirk Brandon (Spear of Destiny), Billy Duffy (The Cult), Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Captain Sensible (The Damned) plus other guests - Mike Jones (The Clash), Lemmy (Motorhead), Derek Forbes (Simple Minds), Brian Setzer (Stray Cats) and Bruce Watson (Big Country).

Whilst primarily a live group, there are a number of excellent live sets available mostly sold via the bands website (seemingly offline at the moment), with a bit of digging these discs turn up on Ebay and Amazon.

Look out for Live (recorded at the Guildford Festival in 2001), Live at Leeds (2003) and Live at CBGB 's New York (2005).
The cds include cover versions from each band member including - Do you believe in the westworld, Spirit of '76, Never take me alive, Pretty vacant, Wildflower, Edie, Runaway boys, She sells sanctuary, Smash it up and Neat neat neat.

Well worth catching them if the band tour again.
